Not all kitchen shears have the toothed grip — so look for:
“Multi-purpose” or “kitchen multitasker” labeling
Stainless steel construction — more durable for heavy tasks
Ergonomic handles — comfortable for squeezing
Dishwasher-safe — makes cleanup easier
✅ Brands like OXO, KitchenAid, and Wüsthof often include this feature.
Final Thoughts
That weird toothed part on your kitchen scissors isn’t just for show.
It’s a quiet hero — a tiny, rugged tool that helps you:
Open stubborn jars
Crack nuts in seconds
Pop a bottle cap
Grip slippery packaging
And the best part?
It’s always right where you need it — no drawer rummaging required.
So next time you reach for your kitchen shears…
take a second to appreciate that little ridge.
Because sometimes, the smartest tools aren’t the biggest —
they’re the ones hiding in plain sight.
