Hot take: those $1 kitchen scissors from Dollar Tree cut better than my $20 Wusthof pair.
I spent 6 months struggling to snip through chicken bones with expensive shears until I grabbed a random pair on a whim and finally realized the cheap ones are sharper because they're disposable and replaced every few weeks.
Whoa wait, you're really replacing them every few weeks? That sounds like you're burning through plastic shears faster than I burn through my patience at the DMV.
There's no way a dollar store blade holds an edge like a forged Wusthof does. You're trading a sharp moment for a tool that's dull after one roast chicken, plus you're just throwing more plastic in the landfill every time it gives up.
