 Broke Three In Quick SuccessionSep 06, 2005
By kozi

I bought three of these when I saw them in a local store, thinking them a great deal. They LOOK like the equivalent of the Henckels, solid and sturdy, at one-fifth the price. (At that time they only cost $5.69 each.)
Looks can be deceiving.
They are suitable for paper, skin, aluminum foil, etc., but do not try them on anything more substantial, like chicken leg bones. I broke these on items that I routinely cut through with my Henckels and Wusthof shears. The cost of sending them back under warranty was about the purchase cost, so I tossed out all three pairs.
Sorry, Chicago Cutlery, but if you are selling office scissors, label them that way. I expect kitchen shears to be a LOT tougher. I can't mark these more than one star. Chicago Cutlery makes a pair of scissors called the Insignia series, for only about $2-3 more. I suggest potential buyers look into these, or spring for the more expensive German brands.

 Good scisssors but not a knifeMar 06, 2008
By Kimberly Stanek
"kimmeyjean"
I am a professional chef and have been looking for a sturdy pair of scissors. I have found them! I use these scissors on everything, and boy are they great. Plactic, carpets, thin metal straps. however I am a bit perplexed reading some of the other reviews saying that they are terrible for cutting through chicken bones. Um, use a knife, its safer and quicker, you also won't develop carpel tunnel or arthritis as quickly if you use a knife. I know i know, some infomercial shows scissors cutting up a chicken and then still perfectly cutting paper, use the right tools for the right job, and you won't be dissatisfied.

Centurion ShearsNov 29, 2006
By Klay Dean
"Glad to be alive"
Hello , I have been using this exact shears for years and the shears are used daily . Never a problem . I use them for many cuts : plastic straps , cardboard , metal bead-chain , plastic bead-chain , tin , leather . Left hand -or- right hand fit . The perfect tool for my job . Fits in my holster nicely . They don't pop apart for easier sharpening but thats a good thing for me because I don't want them to accidentaly come apart and possibly damaging someones furniture . I tried the other shears that do come apart and that got me into trouble when they would come apart and they would damage a surface like the floor -or- an end stand . Plus , there are no .... things sticking out from the grips to catch on things . Great tool for me . Nice price to . Thank You . 11/29/06 . Klay

Great shears, wish they were largerMar 11, 2008
By OceanBlue
Strong, dependable shears. Great for everyday kitchen use, from cutting thick vines of grapes to opening a bag. Blades are very sharp and easy to clean, and the handle is comfortable and strong.
I wish the blades were just a bit longer. However, most cuts for kitchen use are short anyway, and the shorter blades can withstand thicker materials requiring more strength. So, for kitchen use, these shears work very well. By design, shears that are great for kitchen use will not be good for cutting wrapping paper (just an example), and because I needed something that provided strength, I am happy with these shears.

Good for the money but...Aug 08, 2007
By Derrik Mantel
I have been impressed with the Centurion cutlery line from Chicago Cutlery. I have noticed some things with the Centurion shears.
These are a departure from the other chicago cutlery kitchen shears in a few ways:
1. They do not come apart. I like this feature on the insignia and walnut tradition lines as it allows for easy cleaning (like when cutting raw meat). ( Another reviewer likes that they do not come apart but seems to be using them for furniture repair.)
2. They do not have the multitool can opener and screw driver attached to the handle. (I find these tools useful in the kitchen - especially the can opener. However another reviewer likes the fact that they are not present on this model.)
3. They come only in black. (at least to my limited knowledge.) The insignia2 and walnut lines come in black, brown, red, blue.
So... depending on your tastes you may pick these or the black insignia2 series which come apart for easy cleaning and have multitool in the handle.
I have used these scissors for trimming meat, vegetables, and flower stems. They also work great on tough beef jerky. The shears' blades are forged on all the chicago cutlery shears lines.
All in all, I like the Walnut Tradition and insignia2 models better for the reasons above.
