Messermeister 8.5-inch Take-Apart Offset Kitchen Shears

Messermeister calls its offset take-apart shears your kitchen’s secret weapon for poultry. The offset handles sit above the line of the blades, so your knuckles clear the cutting board when you trim fat or snip chives over a dish.

The blades come apart easily for thorough cleaning, and Messermeister lists the shears as dishwasher safe. Micro-serrated edges hold slippery food in place as you cut. They share the built-in tools of the straight version, and the tension can be adjusted as the pivot wears. The offset handles also make it easier to trim pie dough or cut pizza on a sheet pan.
