Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Kitchen and Herb Scissors
Customer Review: comes apart too easy
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree witht the other reviewers that stated that the scissors come apart too easily. They are designed so that you can take the two parts off of each other if you open them very wide. The hinge "nut" is shaped to release the blades from each other when opened. But I found that in just regular use they would want to fall apart.
Also I wasn't so crazy about the feel of these soft grips. They left room for an air cushion inside the center part of the handles but with a strong grip you just feel the hollow space under the cushion layer; I found this to be irritating. I choose these because I could get all four fingers in the handle and I liked that but these are going back.
Customer Review: Dangerous and cheap as they rust and break!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had these scissors for just under two years (received them as a wedding gift in June 2005). The started to rust in under a year, and then the handles started slipping. Eventually the plastic on the handles cracked, while I was cutting some chives. The process of the plastic cracking pinched and cut my skin. I actually kept the scissors around for another few weeks as the "scissor part" still worked, but then the other handle cracked and the plastic fell off. My grandmother has had the same kitchen scissors for nearly 50 years...
