Features of GLOBAL Kitchen Shears
A long-awaited addition born from feedback by loyal GLOBAL knife users
The kitchen shears, ranked No.1 in customer surveys as the 'next desired product,' are finally here.
In English, specialized cutting tools like this are typically called 'shears' rather than 'scissors,' reflecting their professional use.
Designed for superior sharpness and ease of use across various cooking scenarios, the product embodies GLOBAL’s craftsmanship and dedication to precision, hence the name 'GLOBAL Kitchen Shears.'
This new tool joins the existing GLOBAL lineup, offering users more ways to match the right tool to the task.
The central triple-hole design is inspired by GLOBAL’s signature dot pattern, combining aesthetic identity with practical functionality.
Smarter food prep by pairing with knives
From prep work to finishing touches, the shears efficiently support tasks before and after knife use.
By using the right tool for each cutting task, users can significantly expand their culinary efficiency.
Designed for long-term comfort and durability, the non-separable (one-piece) construction ensures stable, reliable handling.
Sharp performance meets functional beauty
True to the GLOBAL brand’s values, the shears deliver exceptional sharpness and elegant design, while being easy to clean and maintain for lasting use.
The thickened rivet prevents the blade tip from touching the countertop when placed down, ensuring hygienic use during cooking.
The raised 'stand rivet' is easy to grip and lift smoothly.
Main Use Cases
① Meat Preparation
Ideal for precisely trimming sinew, fat, or excess skin.
Use the knife for large cuts and the shears for fine trimming—this division of labor streamlines prep work.
② Fish and Shellfish Preparation
Safely remove fish fins that are slippery and hard to cut with a knife.
The fine, pointed tip makes peeling shrimp shells and removing intestinal veins effortless.
The central triple-hole (herb stripper) can also crush nuts or crack crab shells—making tough tasks easier.
Even the hard shells of crustaceans can be cut smoothly.
③ Dried Food Cutting
Cuts dried ingredients like kelp and dried squid cleanly with consistent sharpness.
Smooth opening and closing allow for quick, even mincing of dried seaweed.
④ Non-Food Cutting
Easily cut through plastic wraps or pouches that are difficult to open by hand.
Also suitable for cutting paper packaging, making it useful across various kitchen tasks.
Even delicate tasks like decorative cutting of parchment paper are effortless.
⑤ Herb Stripper
Insert stems of varying thickness into the central holes and pull through to cleanly remove leaves.
Produces more uniform results than hand-stripping, speeding up prep.
Perfect for parsley, rosemary, perilla seeds, and more—greatly expanding your cooking versatility.
