Jenaluca 5-Blade Herb Scissors, Stainless Steel Kitchen Shears, Green

Having grown a summer herb garden for many years, I found no easy or precise way to cut, chop or mince herbs for cooking except with a knife which was inadequate regardless of how I sharpened it. The 5-blade Herb Scissors made short order of that! With the scissors you are also supplied with a quick cleaning apparatus as well as assurance that the scissors can be machine washed. The scissors are SHARP!, well-made and simple to use. I would recommend them to anyone who is a summer herb enthusiast.

These scissors are great. I was fixing a dish that needed some sliced green onions and I always chop some of the green tops with them but this time I thought I'd just try the scissors on them. Perfect! In a couple of minutes I had all I needed. Same thing with Italian Parsley. After I stripped the leaves off instead of slicing with a knife I sort of balled some up and put it between the blades and Voila! I had nice little strips of parsley for my dish. They are so sharp that they just slice through without bruising. Also, the blade cover clears all the little pieces left between the blades besides protecting the scissors. How efficient. A simple rinse off and you're done. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and sometimes a lot of cutting and chopping makes my hands and especially my fingers cramp so much that I can't finish food preparation. This may be the best tool I've ever bought because I like to cook and this with a couple of other tools sure makes prep fast and easy. I highly recommend this product. Also, I'd like to mention that as soon as the scissors arrived the company contacted me about their product, letting me know that if I had any trouble receiving it or if there would ever be any problems with it to contact them immediately. This is a small company that takes pride in their products, so much so, that they want their customers happy. I've never had any company large or small follow up instantly like this. I'm very impressed.

These days, scissors' blades are (in my experience) always sharp when they're new. The real test of a good pair of scissors is the distance between the two blades. The larger the gap between the blades, the more likely the target item (paper, plastic, herb leaves) will bend into the gap before being cut, making for a ragged cut or even no cut at all. The ideal pair of scissors will slow no light between its closed blades if you hold it up to a bright light source, such as a window on a sunny day, and attempt to see the light between the blades. I own three pairs of scissors, each of which is more than ten years old, that pass the light test. For some reason, recently-made scissors seem to have blades that are very slightly curved, so that their tips touch but there's a gap closer to the joint. Of the Jenaluca's five sets of blades, three are pretty good (a bit of light shows) and two aren't quite as good. They do cut well. So far I've used them on parsley, celery (julienne strips), and green onion tops. The cleaning comb is an essential part of the set; it removes virtually every left-behind bit of food from the blades. Since I lack a dishwasher I hand-wash my scissors. In short, I recommend them.

These work great for my green onions to put in my dishes. Fairly easy to clean. I use them all the time. Easier than having to cut up my onions.

These work so well I bought a second pair for a friend. They are easy to use and versatile for all herbs. Great quality and especially for the price.

I was super excited to order these. Unfortunately now they are just one of those cool looking kitchen back gadgets that are sitting in my junk drawer. They come with a cover and a clever cleaning tool to get between the blades. For me it was more hassle to clean in between the blades and didn’t cut as well if I just used my knife to chop. I constantly have to clean between the blades when trying to chop. It really slowed me down rather than to help me cook and prep more efficiently. While it’s a neat product and I thought a must have, you would do better to just use your knife and cutting board.

So handy to cut fresh herbs! I liked it so much that I bought 3 more for friends and family

Wonderful

I love these. A friend told me about them last year, and I finally bought a pair. They are the best things to cut up herbs with.

Best thing ever for using fresh herbs! These cut well and clean up easily.

Not worth it, at this price. The bottom part of the scissor is unusable since blades are not properly aligned. Some blades not even grinding together. One can only use the top most part of the blade hinge where blades are connected.

After trying a number of herb cuttung methods I was impressed with these scissors. I use a lot of basil and these scissors did the job! The cleaning tool supplied worked well also. Am happy to have bought this item

Blades are too near. Vegetables get stucked.
