OK....I didn't realize until tonight that PC discontinued the Kitchen Shears....WHY?????? I LOVE THEM!! They were a great seller and now there's just the professional shears which are great and all....but I love my little handy kitchen shears.

Sorry fellow Cheffers just needed to say grrrr:grumpy:
 
If you haven't actually seen the new ones yet, I personally think they are MUCH better. I get lots of great comments on them and they are tough!! They combined the best of the old-style (the old white ones), with the best of the black Kitchen Shears from last season (the black handles, etc). I love them and plan to get a second pair for my own kitchen with KE in April.

Oh my goodness...I LOVE MY SHEARS!!! So does my husband. He uses them more than the knives now. But I never had the old ones to compare them too.
 
The Professional Shears are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than those skinny black ones from last year!
 
I was a HUGE fan of the old white ones (as I have 3 pairs) throughout the house but I must say, now as I have 2 pairs of the new ones (in currect catalog), they rock! I have had MANY guests at show's buy the new ones after just getting the black version as they did not like them.

Amen, sister! If only they had left that stupid lock off of the bottom, they'd be nearly perfect. I've told my a few of my really good customers to just take that off -- I would if I wasn't carrying them to shows.
 
I love them too but they are dangerous! I have cut myself twice by accidentlly running a finger near the blade. That NEVER happened with the white ones nor the skinnier ones. I think that the new ones remind me too much of the original and I forget that these are different.
