Shun Kitchen Shears 

Kitchen shears are one of those handy dandy kitchen tools that, once introduced, you can’t live without. They’re so useful, in fact, that they’ve even secured themselves a place in the modern-day knife block. Parts Town wants to help you fill that hole, so that’s why we’ve stocked a wide variety of food scissors for any commercial kitchen or at-home need. Among our extensive selection, we have everything from kitchen poultry to herb shears in a diverse range of sizes and styles.

What Are the Different Types of Kitchen Shears 

There are several types of kitchen shears, including poultry shears, herb shears, fish shears and all-purpose shears. Herb shears have five sets of blades to mince leaves and stalks faster than it would be chopping with a chef's knife. Fish and poultry shears, on the other hand, are usually spring-loaded to cut through bone and tissue with greater ease. And lastly, the all-purpose cooking shears can do a little bit of everything but are especially useful for opening packaging and snipping the odd herb.

How Big Should Kitchen Shears Be?

A set of all-purpose kitchen shears typically comes between 8-9 inches in length. However, this range can vary depending on the cooking scissor’s designated purpose. For instance, herb shears are smaller at about only 3-5 inches, while poultry shear's heavy-duty tasks require 5-8 inches of wedge force.
