Must have

"Thanks to their shape these scissors cut absolutely all kind of herbs, fast, and without crushing the herb like some electrical tools do. Easy to clean, safe to store thanks to their plastic sleeve. I even use them to cut raw spinach leaves to sprinkle on pasta dishes. The most efficient and versatile herb cutting tool I have ever found. Definitely a must have."

Coolest tool ever.

"Got this scissors for Christmas after seeing it in your store. Loved it immediately. Had to get one for all 4 of my children for Valentine's Day. Some had never seen it before - like me. Now, they all love them. No more squisshy herbs. Best invention since the wheel."

A Great Timesaver

"I have owned a pair of these for almost a year and love them. I am in charge of the city herb garden in my town and have recommended the scissors often. As to the CLEANING complaint - It took me 3 months to realize that the end of the scissors cover is designed to push herbs out from between the blades of the scissors! I thought it was just a vent. Look at the picture carefully - it works beautifully and also helps with cleaning. I put mine in the dishwasher after rinsing. They are still working like new."

Brilliant!

"This is one of the best gadgets I have bought. A simple but brilliant idea. I live in England and always browse in Crate & Barrel when visiting the States. I bought this last summer and am now ordering one for a relative. The blade cover/scraper means none of the cut herbs are wasted. Unlike many gadgets which seem like a good idea and then get shut away in a drawer, this is in constant use. Another C&B item I didn't know I needed and now can't live without!"

Prepare fresh herbs in a snip

"If you enjoy fresh cilantro, basil etc this is the tool for you. These scissors work perfectly to create chopped herbs in seconds. Wish I'd had a pair years ago! Thanks Crate & Barrel!!"

Best of its class

"Bought it as a gift for my husband based on online recommendations. I could have spent almost twice as much elsewhere. He is thrilled with it! Even suggested he could make confetti with it for New Year's Eve."

Worth It!

"I really like these. I love fresh cilantro but hate trying to cut it up with a knife or kitchen scissors. I saw a pair of these on a cooking blog once and have been searching for them since! When I found them here I probably would have been willing to pay double I wanted them so bad. These were very inexpensive, and shipped very quickly! The one "complaint" I have would be they should have it come with a cleaner of some sort. Although all I had to do was run it under water to clean it out. A toothpick would also work. Well worth it if you love fresh herbs!"

LOVE THEM!

"I got these for a gift from my daughter and her husband for my birthday and it was probably one of the best gifts ever. I cook almost everyday and use lots of fresh herbs and these made the prep so easy and convenient. They are comfortable to hold, cut the herbs perfectly and quickly. Am going to by another pair when these get dull. My nephew is a professional chef and I showed them to him and he loved them as well."

Perfect addition

"These scissors work perfectly to help cut the herbs off the plant and cut into small pieces so I can add to my dishes. Herbs are cut cleanly and makes minimal mess."

Best for cutting herbs

"This was on the brides registry list. I bought it for a bridal shower game (guess what's in the bag by feel alone) and then gave all the gadgets to the bride as her shower gift. They make cutting herbs less tedious by making many cuts at the same time. A great idea."

Quick Fix

"Call me lazy or just call me. This product makes it so much easier to enjoy herbs. More control when cutting the herb over your dish. Yum, adding basil evenly over a fresh salad."

Great Kitchen helper and timesaver

"I received a pair of these scissors as a Christmas gift. I am a personal chef and use a lot of fresh herbs in my cooking. These scissors are so handy that I use them almost everyday. They make perfect julienne of basil, evenly sized pieces of chives and I have even used them to cut garlic and small hot peppers.
I liked them so well, that I ordered 10 pair from a store by phone for pick-up a few days later. It was so easy and slick. I was emailed a receipt which I brought to the store and within minutes the clerk handed me a box in which the scissors were beautifully packed. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. That's great customer service and a great product!

Greatest Herb Scissors

"I use a lot of herbs and have tried many different kinds of herb cutters. By far these scissors are the easiest to use and most efficient. They do the job in half the time. I just bought another pair for a friend and for our home in FL."

Good for Nori cutting, too.

"I sometimes make “Chirashi Sushi” that is casual style Sushi I would say. For that, I need julienned Nori for the garnish. I use these scissors to make that julienned Nori from a sheet of Nori. I can use these scissors not only for Herb cutting but for my Nori cutting.
I wish the width of the each blade is narrower so I can make more thinly julienned Nori for more sophisticated presentation on Chirashi Sushi."

Great kitchen addition

"Very happy with these scissors. They are a great time saver and very easy to use. I grow a variety of my own herbs and quite honestly there were times I just didn't want to bother with all the mincing and chopping. These scissors do a beautiful job and clean up well. I gave them a shot of cooking spray before using to help with clean up."

Great idea & time saver

"What a niffy kitchen helper! This scissors is perfect for cutting those fresh herbs! I have a basic herb scissors from another kitchen helper company, but it has one blade and while handy the past few years, still takes awhile to snip all of the herbs I like to use. This scissors, with its multiple blades cuts more quickly and in similar pieces for consistency. Love it!"

perfectly chopped herbs every time!

"My hat's off to the person who designed this nifty little pair of quadruple blade scissors! I have tried regular kitchen shears and sharp knives yet have been unsuccessful in cutting cilantro, basil, parsley, etc as fine as I wanted but these herb shears make it super easy. I love cilantro but not big chinks of it and these shears give me just the size pieces I want. Be careful - those blades are sharp and yes, herb pieces do get in between the blades but they are not difficult to remove. That little issue is small compared to the wonderful job they do. Love the blade guard- too!"
