Victorinox professional kitchen shears are made of stainless steel and can be sterilized. One side of the cutting edge has micro-serrations for easy cutting. The length from the finger hole to the hinge ensures that the scissors can be fully pressed during cutting. The shears can be disassembled for easy cleaning. Additionally, the pivot screw allows for adjustable hinge tension or resistance. It is symmetrical and can be used by both right- and left-handed users.
