We made these for spatchcocking. The blades are molybdenum-vanadium stainless, precisely tempered and 3.5 mm thick, and they sit on a 5.6-inch aluminum alloy handle finished in red. A built-in spring holds the jaws open so one hand can work while the other steadies the bird. Two replacement springs come in the box, because a spring is the one part on a shear like this that eventually gives up.

Anatomy of the tool

Blades

Cutting on the whole length

Most poultry shears waste their back half on a bone notch that only grips. This profile was redrawn so the full blade cuts, which means long strokes through a breastbone instead of short bites at the tip.

Lock

A screw that stays put

Come-apart shears often pop open because ninety degrees of travel is not enough for a full stroke. Here a screw keeps the halves married during use; a wrench takes the bolts out for a deep clean or a spring swap.

Grip

Aluminum alloy, one-handed work

The 5.6-inch alloy handle gives leverage without the squeeze. With the spring doing the reopening, your hand only has to close, and that is what keeps a whole turkey from wearing out your grip.

In Use

Spatchcock, pizza, shrimp

Wings and legs off a chicken, a turkey flattened for the oven, pizza and quesadillas cut at the table, bacon, pie crust, grape stems, shrimp, canned food. The serrated edge also scrapes fish scales.

From the sharpening bench

Keep the spare springs taped inside the drawer rather than loose in a box. Swapping one takes a wrench and a minute, and the shears feel new again afterward.
