Shimomura Verdun Stainless Steel Kitchen Scissors

Shimomura Pro-Grade All Stainless Steel Kitchen Scissors

A good pair of kitchen scissors quietly earns its keep, and these ones from Shimomura are the real deal. They're forged entirely from stainless steel in Japan, so there's no plastic to wear out and nothing to rust. The clever part is the one piece body: with no awkward joints or crevices, there's nowhere for bits of food to lodge, which makes them genuinely quick to rinse clean and keep hygienic.

They'll happily take on whatever the kitchen throws at them too, from portioning meat and snipping herbs to trimming veg and tearing into stubborn packaging. And despite being tough, they sit lightly in the hand, so your fingers won't be aching after a big prep session.

Why you'll like them

• One piece stainless build that shrugs off rust and won't harbour food residue.
• Light and easy to control, even over longer stretches at the bench.
• A true all rounder for meat, veg, herbs, packaging and everything in between.
• Made in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, a region famous for its metalwork, with all the precision that reputation implies.
