Mercer’s poultry shears are built for breaking down chicken, turkey, duck and small game: trimming joints, cutting along the backbone and working into tight spots a knife cannot reach. The long, curved blade sets the proper cutting angle, and fine micro-serrations hold the meat while the shears cut through.
A safety lock keeps the blades closed when they are not in use, and the textured handle gives a firm grip. They also work for gutting fish.
Which Shears?
