LIVINGO Kitchen Shears

I love these, awesome buy. Had them for a couple years now and zero issues with corrosion or rust. I live in a tropical climate where the weather destroys everything I own pretty much but not these. I use them daily, keep em by the sink, wash every day and let drip dry. You will need to twist a couple times to tighten once in awhile because of the design of these but it takes less than 5 seconds, just a couple flicks of the wrist. Due to the design, they're easy to take a part and clean. Very very happy I bought these for the kitchen. Mine are still very sharp.

Update 01/2026 After almost 5 years, I have 3 of these scissors and they have been excellent; still a very sharp edge. Note: tho the pair parts are interchangeable each pair is adjusted for a perfect fit and we’ve found it best to keep pairs together. Made in China, and very nicely forged quality and honed. Really nice polished finished stainless steel kitchen shears. The ones I received are well built with a solid well secured swivel pin and nice finish. They have already been put to a number of challenging tasks and worked well. These are very sharp, easy to use and we like how they come apart for easy cleaning. No more inexpensive shears with plastic handled blade that frequently trapped food between the blades and plastic supports. Now highly recommend these totally stainless kitchen shears (scissors) as an alternative for food prep. Appear to be Identical to some brands 4 times the price also foreign made...

I like that I can loosen or tighten them at my preference. They cut efficiently and are quality and ACTUALLY heavy dutY.

Zero complaints!...well almost I bought these meat shears to replace a pair of random scissors I had used for the longest time and were surprisingly able to do most of the things that I wanted and needed to do in the kitchen, except for cutting through meat... so I figured when my handles broke off of the old scissors that I would go ahead and upgrade to actual meat shears. In spite of being very sharp, It's super easy to clean safely either by hand with a brush or you can stick it in the dishwasher. I was concerned that the feature that allows you to take the two blades apart to use individually as knives would perhaps be loose and come apart as I was using them like scissors, but that wasn't the case at all. I use them primarily as scissors to chop up just about anything you can think of while cooking. I've cut into chicken bones I have cut into steak, Pizza, hot dogs, bacon packaging, broccoli, rosemary, sage, onions... And it did great! It feels sturdy has a nice weight to it without being too heavy or making my hand feel tired, which would happen when I would use shears that had the spring mechanism in the middle and I love that it has a bit of a vintage feel to it which looks nice in my retro inspired kitchen One downside is that part of the description was its ability to open up a bottle... Perhaps I'm missing something in the technique but the part of the scissors that are described as being able to do that is shaped and smoothed in such a way that I find it rather difficult to do that... rather than pop open the bottle top it shattered the glass so I couldn't recommend using that part... There is a myriad of other ways to open up a bottle top though, so it really isn't a primary concern of mine... That section has been great for popping the tail off of shrimp though! ... and I could see how it would be easy to use for cracking nuts... The individual blades are not so great for skinning potatoes but excellent for everything else I mentioned and similar... That again could be down to technique. Overall I love these so much and use them for every meal I cook multiple times everyday... I would definitely recommend these shears and I'm thinking of gifting a few😍 ✂️👌🏾

Using shears has never been so satisfying. Maybe that is a bit of exaggeration. I own quality hair cutting shears as well as fabric shears and neither pair touches anything but their intended materials. I would find myself at least once or twice a day longing to "just once" use one of my task-specific shears for some mundane cutting I was using bargain scissors to accomplish. I am not even sure how we ended up with 5 pairs of cheap, plastic-handled scissors when I took stock two years ago, but waste not, want not. The best of the 5 became the kitchen shears, one was designated the "utility" scissors, one went to the office ( and oh noes, a co-worker borrowed them and failed to return!), and the remaining two waited in the wings for their day. The designated utility scissors broke spectacularly one day (eye protection, it is a GOOD thing), so back-up scissors were brought out and one pair discovered to have rusted closed. One of the handle loops on the other (Fiskars, no less) broke within a day after a 30" drop onto tile. Made. My. Whole. Month. Anyone who has tried to balance quality goods, frugality, and environmental concern should understand the relief of being able to discard and replace cheap, inferior goods for quality without qualms regarding throwing away something "usable". Enter these shears. We eschew plastic when possible so new shears needed to be all metal. Check. Also, maintainable so the ability to sharpen was another checkbox. Check. I scoured reviews and ordered these and was not disappointed. Upon receipt I immediately tried them on a sheet of paper and was met with an oh, so satisfying *crunch* as the blades came together, cleanly cutting the paper. It was all I could do to slip these shears into the kitchen utensil crock rather than spend the day gleefully cutting paper to bits. There was a bit of comedy a few days later when my other half opened them a bit too far and they separated, as designed, and I had to explain the nuances of quality steel kitchen shears while deftly snapping them back together. The poor man was initially devastated thinking he broke the new, awesome shears but now he is a bigger fan than ever. I am happy with these shears and expect them to last a good long while if not my lifetime. I dropped a star because, as another reviewer mentioned, the tabs on the handles for popping tabs are too thick for that task. Small flaw and not a feature I was seeking, but it was in the selling points. If you are looking for that functionality, Maybe consider a different model. If you are looking for a quality pair of shears that hold an edge, makes clean cuts, and will not skew or break apart during use, these fit the bill. I forsee another pair replacing my final pair of cheap scissors, now destined for an early retirement.

Very smooth cutting action. Love that can be taken apart to clean

These are without a doubt the best kitchen shears I’ve owned. A pair lasts about 2-3 years of heavy kitchen use before I retire them to the garden. The forged stainless blades stay sharp, and the handles are comfortable enough, and provide decent leverage.

So far they work great. Plenty sharp, very sturdy, a bit heavy and easy to take apart. The handles are plenty big with no sharp corners, which is good since not all scissors work well with big hands. Has a groove for cutting through bone, but haven't tested that yet. The only down side is they can sometimes come apart unintentionally if opened wide, but that applies to all scissors with this type of hinge and you get use to it. Easy cleaning is worth it imo. Love that cleaning is as easy as turning the handles perpendicular and pulling them apart. Clean them like a set of knives, makes for easy sharpening too. No rust so far and feels/looks/sounds like stainless to me, which was one of my biggest worries due to some of the comments. Says it's 420J2 stainless steel, which should be rather rust resistant (not rust proof fyi). Though I'm curious how long it stays sharp since it's a softer steel. This is one of the cheapest types of stainless steel that can still call itself a knife steel so it isn't the best, but it gets the job done and is still better than a lot of other metals used for scissors. Plus better steel that stays extra sharp would come at a higher price along with tradeoffs like easier to rust/chip and a less shiny surface due to lower chrome content. Edit: Been a long time, no rust, still working great.

love that it is detachable and i can clean the part around the hinge so easily. can simply detach and put in the dishwasher. dries fast, no need to worry about rusting or grime build up around the hinge. well made and feels so solid. hopefully will last a lifetime

Super Robuste et joli

Very sturdy and sharp kitchen scissors. Easy to clean since they can be separated in two pieces. Very good price/quality, can definitely recommend

Son buenas pero cuando las usas 2 o 3 veces se desmontan con demasiada facilidad y se separan las 2 partes enseguida

Ho acquistato queste forbici da cucina LivinGo e ne sono rimasto davvero soddisfatto. La qualità dei materiali si percepisce subito: sono solide, ben bilanciate e molto affilate. Tagliano senza sforzo carne, verdure, confezioni e anche materiali più resistenti. L’impugnatura è ergonomica e comoda anche dopo un uso prolungato, mentre la possibilità di separarle rende la pulizia semplice e veloce. Design elegante e sensazione di prodotto professionale. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, decisamente consigliate per chi cerca forbici affidabili e durevoli in cucina. Ho comprato un secondo paio da regalare a mia madre e anche lei ne é rimasta entusiasta!
