2 out of 5 stars Made in CHINA   December 18, 2008

I received my Messermeister utility shears today and was very surprised to find that they are MADE IN CHINA. I was specifically looking for shears NOT made in China, and was led to believe that Messermeister was still made in Germany. Well, wrong! They look OK, although I have not opened the plastic wrap. Note that these are "scissors" not "shears", as most of us would expect a serrated blade on kitchen utility shears. I am returning them unopened.


5 out of 5 stars best Kitchen shears ever!   November 19, 2008

I got these shears because it is a reputable brand and because i can take them apart to wash them in the dishwasher. Although I own mostly all Wuhstoff products, I had to go with the Messermeister shears over the wuhstoff due to the lenght and width of the scissors. They seemed to be more versatile. Not only was I impressed by the fact that they do not stain (like many of my other stainless steel sheers), but i was more impressed with how well they work for the many kitchen tasks I use them for. They are very sharp and are low maintenance. I have used them for cutting flower stems to cutting chicken bones. They work excellent and I still have not had to sharpen them after these last couple of years of regular use.

The Germans do it again. These are the best shears I have ever used. They are sharp enough to cut meat and envelopes.
