After breaking the handle of a pair of scissors Multipurpose opening a bottle, we were looking for another simple but effective pair. These are perfect, he cut well and are lightweight. Fine enough to shear as parsley in a glass. The interior of the handle is covered by a soft-grip material. So they keep well in hand and are soft to the touch. They are symmetrical and allow use by right- or left-handed. The 3 small holes between the blades are designed to pluck the branches of thyme and rosemary. Convenient and efficient. The transparent sheath helps keep them clean and avoid injury. With detachable blades cleaning is a pleasure. So they are worth their price largely. For reliability, add a comment in case of problems. A star less because despite the great TEFAL on the blade, they are made in China. I spent time writing this review to you. If you enjoy and that this has been helpful, thank you to let me know by checking YES below.
