Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International 5-Piece Scissors Set
Customer Review: Once apon a time.......
Summary: 2 Stars
It used to be that Henckels products were top notch. No longer. Any fine quality knife or scissors has to be forged. I have a few old knifes from Henckels and they are fine, quality tool steel, drop forged. Now I'm not saying these are worthless just not top drawer. There are still great knifes out there just beware the sticker shock. As these will be a life long tool look at the price with a view towards that. Look at Wusthof for a good example or some of the Japanese small manufacturers or A.G. Russell, you will not be disappointed. Even if you can only afford one at a time do it. Also a great wedding gift. Duke Masters
Customer Review: Don't listen to the negative reviews- these are handy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this set of scissors about 6 years ago and they work just as perfectly now as the day I bought them! I reach for them CONSTANTLY! The variety of sizes is wonderful. Yes, the handles may be plastic but that does not mean they wear out or break - they are very durable. They've stayed sharp, they are easy to clean, they have not loosened at all where the joint is located and the larger scissors are very sturdy and strong! I've cut small wire with them and they stay super sharp and undented! Awesome gift! In fact I'm going to purchase another set for a Christmas gift.Customer Review: Junk

I have a good set of Henckels knives, these have absolutely nothing to do with them. They are cheap, the kitchen shears don't come apart (which of course they should for complete cleaning) the "anvil" flower trimmers, what a joke. The "anvil" is cheap plastic instead of brass, the catch sticky, the handles cheap plastic. I have bought equal scissors in the drug store for $3.99 each.
Why they have the Henckels brand on these is beyond me. They'll most likely go back. I don't have junk in my kitchen. I'll not start with these.
Customer Review: Shame on Henckels
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware, these scissors are low quality, not what you would expect from Henckels. They are manufactured in Korea and China with cheap, uncomfortable plastic handles. I own a genuine pair of Henckels kitchen shears which I purchased at Macy's about 20 years ago. They are still in great condition and work perfectly. This is the type of quality that I was hoping for when I purchased this 5-piece set. Unfortunately, what I got was a set of cheap imitations. I returned my order. Don't make the same mistake that I made.Customer Review: This is the last set of scissors you will ever need to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a set of five (5) scissors. They are sharp and cut cleanly. My favorite is the flower cutter which has a spring and a latch. All the rest of them are perfect for their design. Poultry is only one use. The bent shears are perfect for opening Amazon cartons. The other type is perfect for cutting burrs off a dog's paws. In my life, I've never had access to quality scissors. Amazon is charging a more than fair price for the set. You will never again get a bargain like this.
