I had these, and donated them to the thrift store, because the red locking tab kept falling into the closed position, which blocked the scissors from closing all the way and cutting properly.Great concept, very poor execution. Not recommended.
They're sharp and of solid construction. As someone who always tries to buy OXO whenever I discover a need for a new kitchen gadget, I have to say these kitchen scissors do not disappoint. I also appreciate the red tab that holds the scissors closed when not in use, otherwise I'm certain I would have sliced my fingers to ribbons by now reaching into the drawer where I keep them.
The locking clip had to go. Once the locking clip is removed, they work great. I use these almost everyday. I agree with the comments this could have been designed better.
PROS: Cuts well enough for my kitchen use; comfortable to grip w/extra large opening for fingers and no place to get my thumb stuck as has happened w/other scissors; fairly easy to take apart/assemble for cleaning & sharpening.CONS: The locking latch flipping into the locked position during use is a major flaw; the handles come completely together so you have to be careful not to get the skin of your palm pinched (trust me, it's very painful).
i am a demo person i use these alot i now have 4 pares of these two for work and two for home
