Wiss KSRN forged kitchen shears are stainless steel with baked enamel handles. They have a bone/flower cutting notch. One blade has a serrated edge for gripping the material better. The total length is 8", and the blade length is 2-1/4". These traditional pattern shears do not come apart. These kitchen shears are for preparing food, cracking nuts, opening jars, and cutting a wide variety of materials including flowers, twine, rope, cardboard, light metal, and wire screens. Forging makes the metal harder so the scissor stays sharp longer. Made in Italy.
