HOSHANHO Kitchen Shears 5Cr15MoV Stainless Steel

Breaking down poultry with ordinary kitchen scissors can feel awkward, especially when the grip is uncomfortable or the blades aren’t suited to heavier prep. These HOSHANHO kitchen shears are designed for that kind of work, with stainless-steel blades and an ergonomic handle.

They’re also listed for cutting meat, herbs, vegetables, seafood, pastry dough, and pizza. That range may make them more useful than a pair kept only for poultry.

One tradeoff is care: they are not dishwasher safe, so plan to wash them by hand after use.

Technical details

The blades are made from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel and are heat-treated to 57 HRC, a hardness rating the product listing associates with durability and rust resistance. The full-tang handle is made from Pakkawood, with a non-slip design intended to provide a steadier, more comfortable grip during prep. The built-in safety lock keeps the blades closed for storage.

The maker says the shears can cut poultry bones as well as everyday ingredients. That’s a broader job description than basic kitchen scissors, but the listing doesn’t provide blade dimensions or a detailed care routine beyond noting that the shears are not dishwasher safe. If those specifics matter to your setup, they’re not established here.

Getting the most from it

These are a fit for cooks who want a dedicated cutting tool close at hand for more than one task. For example, you could trim herbs, cut pastry dough, then use the shears to portion poultry during the same meal prep session. The lock is useful when putting them away, since it holds the blades closed, still, handle the cutting edges carefully while washing and drying them.

If your usual jobs are limited to opening packages or snipping soft herbs, a lighter, simpler pair may be enough. These shears make more sense when you expect to move between ingredients and want a sturdier tool for meat and poultry prep. The product listing doesn’t specify whether the blades separate for cleaning, so don’t assume that they do.

Usage tips

Use controlled cuts rather than forcing or twisting the blades through an ingredient. For poultry, work over a stable cutting surface and reposition the food as needed, for herbs or pastry, short, deliberate snips can help keep the cut where you want it. Afterward, wash by hand and dry thoroughly before closing the safety lock for storage.

A solid pick if you regularly prepare poultry and want shears that can also handle several other kitchen tasks. Not the best choice if dishwasher-safe cleanup is a must or if you need detailed product dimensions before buying. The listing describes the blades as staying sharp with long-term use, but that claim is according to the maker.

Questions before you buy

Can these kitchen shears go in the dishwasher? No. The product information says they are not dishwasher safe, so hand washing is the appropriate care approach.

What are they intended to cut? The listed uses include poultry, other meats, herbs, vegetables, seafood, pizza, and pastry dough. The maker also says they can cut poultry bones.

How do they stay closed in storage? A built-in safety lock holds the blades closed. It’s a storage feature, not a substitute for careful handling around the blades.

Buying verdict

Choose these HOSHANHO shears if poultry prep is a regular kitchen job and you value a Pakkawood handle, a locking mechanism, and the flexibility to cut other ingredients with the same tool. They offer a more task-ready approach than basic scissors, but the hand-wash requirement is a real consideration. If easy dishwasher cleanup matters more than a dedicated poultry-cutting tool, a different style of kitchen scissors may suit your routine better.
