Quick answer

Kuhn Rikon offers three main kitchen scissors: the universal disassemblable model for everyday tasks, the Plus Professional for heavy-duty cutting, and the compact version for small hands or tight storage. Your choice depends on how often you cut tough ingredients and how much space you have.

Why choose Kuhn Rikon kitchen scissors?

All three Kuhn Rikon kitchen scissors are made from fine stainless steel and feature self-sharpening blades that maintain their edge over time. This means less frequent sharpening and consistent cutting performance for years.

Key differences at a glance

The compact model (310739) is smaller and lighter, ideal for people with smaller hands or for kitchens where drawer space is limited.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between universal and professional kitchen scissors?

The universal model (310740) is a versatile everyday scissor suitable for cutting herbs, vegetables, and light packaging. The Plus Professional (310742) is reinforced for heavier tasks like cutting through poultry bones or thick plastic. The professional model costs more but offers greater durability for frequent heavy use. If you mostly cut soft produce and paper, the universal is sufficient. If you often cut meat or tough materials, invest in the professional.

Are the compact scissors as durable as the larger models?

Yes, the compact scissors (310739) are made from the same fine stainless steel and have self-sharpening blades. They are just as durable but in a smaller form factor. Their compact size means less leverage for very thick materials, so they are best for light to moderate tasks. Choose compact for small hands or limited storage; choose universal or professional for maximum cutting power.

Can I take these scissors apart for cleaning?

All three models are disassemblable. You can separate the blades for thorough cleaning, which helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps the pivot area free of debris. This is especially useful if you cut raw meat or sticky ingredients. Disassemblable design makes cleaning and maintenance easy.
