Title: Can't agree with Cooks Illustrated
Review: I bought these following the Cooks Illustrated review a few years ago. While they are billed as utility shears, I can't see them doing anything more challenging than parting a chicken, so maybe they should change the title to "poultry shears." Any other household cutting tasks I've used them for have nicked the blades.Also, there is a major flaw in the design concerning how they separate. There should be some locking mechanism that prevents separation in case the shears swing open. I found this out the hard way using them to trim some threads from some window treatments I had sewn and used these shears because they were handier than running back up to the 3rd story sewing room. While holding the shears with one hand and holding the thread with another, the shears swung open and became detached. With a normal set of shears, this wouldn't have been an issue. Instead, it separated, fell apart and landed point down, gouging my midcentury bar cabinet. Ouch.
