Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Messermeister 8-1/2-Inch Take-Apart Utlility Shear
Customer Review: Almost perfect.
Summary: 4 Stars
These shears are great. The blades are durable, sharp, and curved very nicely for a huge range of cutting tasks. They are mainly for use in the kitchen, but that doesn't mean that they aren't useful elsewhere. They have several extra tools built in and can be taken apart extremely easily for thorough sanitizing, or to use as an individual blade (almost as you would a knife).
In my title, the "almost" part is that after using these for about a year the handle cracked. Specifically the longer of the two plastic eye rings of the handle cracked and separated from itself right where the metal goes into the inner side. When I would open the shears the cracked part would also open. Because I use these a lot for raw meat and other bacteria-susceptible foods, the crack quite literally opened the handle up to cross contamination. Before this could happen I repaired the crack with gorilla glue and I haven't seen any sign of the rack reopening yet. I've been looking around passively for shears who's metal handles continue the whole way through the plastic eye rings. Until I find them at the right price, these shears are my best pair.
