Product Description

Wusthof come-a-part kitchen shears. These Wusthof come-a-part kitchen shears are good for snipping flowers, strings, cloth or herbs.

Standard features: Wusthof come-a-part kitchen shears length: 8"; precision forged high carbon stainless steel has a bone notch synthetic handle; hand wash; lifetime Wusthof warranty against material and manufacturing defects, with normal use and proper care; Model#: 5558-1 240613

Amazon.com

These powerful 8-inch kitchen shears cut food, flowers, paper, cardboard, even carpet. They're balanced in the hand and work equally well for right-handers and left-handers. Blades formed from high-carbon stainless steel curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth and exact. One blade's serrations prevent slippage. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades can be lifted so the shears can be taken apart for resharpening. Steel-tooth insets in the rugged synthetic handles twist open bottle and jar caps. The shears are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing better protects the blade edges. --Fred Brack

Customers like the durability of the scissors. They mention that the joints are well-made, heavy duty, and quite sharp. They also like the construction and ease of use. The precise machining makes the shears feel sturdy when cutting. The blades stay together and don't separate in normal usage. They are easy to reassemble but don' t fall apart. Overall, customers are satisfied with the durability and quality of the product.

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the scissors. For example, they mention that they are sharp enough to cut through chicken joints, and have remained sharp and rust free even though they practically live. Some say that the scissors are significantly sharper than any of the previous kitchen shears they have used. That said, they say they provide good leverage for making precision cuts. However, some customers note that the blades are decent when new, but will not stay sharp with daily use.

Where has the quality gone.

Where has the quality gone.
I recently lost my Wusthof Gourmet Shears 5558, so I wanted to replace them. I purchased my original pair in Dec of 2006. I don't remember if my original purchase was made in Germany or not. But, these are not the same quality. First the handles are rough, and they actually were uncomfortable to try and use. I have small hands and these actually felt tight on my hands. 2nd, no where is the 5558 number embossed on the shears, nor does it show anywhere on the box, the only thing stamped on the shears is the name Wusthof and the Wusthof logo. My original pair, was embossed with the 5558 number. I returned them the next day after I received them.
