A shear above the rest.
These multi-purpose red shears are sharpened using a fancy Zwilling-only process where ice hardens and grinds the blades, making for lasting sharpness and durability. Better yet, the shears have a bottle cap, and screw cap opener, and a jar lid lifter built right in.

How did I live without these?
I started with the all stainless (also great), they became so useful and such an integral part of my meal prep I decided a needed a second pair....especially if I needed a pair of shears for raw meat/raw meat packages as well as for herbs etc. during the same mealtime prep. I got the red to distinguish the two and to keep from cross-contaminating the ingredients.
My go to Kitchen Shears
These Multi=Purpose Kitchen Shears are WONDERFUL. Really ..... I thought a long time if I should get them (I"ve always had bad kitchen shears) I went ahead I purchased these. No regrets.
