Kitchen shears come in handy when it’s not necessary to use your Gyuto knives. By using shears, you can preserve the sharpness of your knives. Japanese kitchen shears, in particular, are typically made out of high-quality stainless steel that is just as sharp as many of your knives.
Harnessing the gripping capability of shears allows you to exert extra pressure, making them excellent for tackling tasks like slicing through crab legs, frozen steaks, and other resilient materials.

The inclusion of teeth in kitchen shears enhances the overall sharpness of the scissors you employ. When dealing with exceptionally dense materials, these teeth play a crucial role in breaking up rough portions, complementing the applied pressure to facilitate cutting. Additionally, the presence of teeth becomes particularly valuable when tackling slippery items containing fat, as they aid in maintaining a secure grip and ensuring effective cutting.
