Kitchen scissors SHUN 23 cm, KAI

Product detailed description

Kitchen scissors are not usually the object of admiration. At most, someone is searching for them and grumbling that they aren't where they should be. The KAI SHUN DM-7240 goes some way to restoring this reputation: with a design awarded the German Design Award 2025, a thoughtful construction, and the character of a tool that is not afraid to be seen.

Main advantages:

• Robust household and kitchen scissors for times when you want to handle cutting and several other practical tasks with a single tool.
• Carefully ground matte stainless steel blades are designed for a reliable cut and can handle even more demanding tasks during food preparation.
• On one of the blades, you will find a special bone notch that makes it easier to separate poultry bones when carving and processing meat.
• You can also use the bone notch outside of cooking – KAI recommends it, for example, for cleanly trimming thicker flower stems.
• An integrated nutcracker is built into the handle, so you don't have to look for another utensil for every small task when preparing ingredients.
• The design also includes a bottle opener for crown caps, giving the scissors another practical use in everyday household operations.
• In the lower part of the handle, there are two stainless steel elements designed to lift vacuum-sealed screw lids and make them easier to open.
• It is this combination of scissors, openers, and a nutcracker that saves both space and time, as you have several frequently needed functions in a single tool at all times.
• Ergonomically shaped handles are designed for a comfortable grip and more confident guidance of the scissors during longer or more strenuous work.
• Scissors can be easily disassembled into two separate parts, making it easy to reach the inner sides of the blades and the joint when cleaning.
• The total length of 23 cm provides plenty of room for a firm grip and work where you expect greater control and stability from the scissors.
• The blades measure 7.5 cm, and their ratio to the sturdier handle supports well-controlled work when cutting food and other materials around the home.
• The KAI SHUN DM-7240 also impresses with its clean, timeless look, which prevents it from looking like ordinary utility scissors hidden at the bottom of a kitchen drawer.
• The thoughtful combination of functionality, ergonomics, and timeless design won the German Design Award in the Excellent Product Design category.
• If you are tired of having a different tool for every small kitchen task, the KAI SHUN DM-7240 offers a more versatile solution for cutting, opening, and working with nuts.
