Shun Multi-purpose Shears have one blade serrated so they can easily cut through even tough or fibrous materials. A non-slip plastic over-mold on the handles makes them comfortable to use as well. And what could make these already handy tools even handier? The blades separate for easy cleaning, then lock together easily and securely for use. There’s a built-in nutcracker, a jar opener, a bone notch (also very handy when trimming flower stems), a lid lifter, and even two screwdriver tips, one in each handle. They’re great for tightening a loose screw in the kitchen cabinet without having to go to the garage to find a screwdriver. In the kitchen, use them to snip herbs, trim asparagus, cut up tortillas, trim beans, open food packages, cut cheesecloth or waxed paper, trim flowers, the list goes on. In other areas of the house, they’re handy for cutting cord, twine, or rope, opening packages or envelopes, and lots more. Shun Multi-purpose Shears really are multi-purpose tools.
