What is that strange toothed part on kitchen scissors for?

Because it adds value and versatility. Kitchen space is often limited, so multi-use tools are especially useful. With this one feature, your scissors can act as a jar opener, nutcracker, and even a poultry helper.

That means fewer gadgets cluttering your drawers and more space saved. For people in small kitchens or apartments, that’s a huge win.

Do All Scissors Have This?

Not all. You’ll most often see it on:

  • Heavy-duty kitchen scissors

  • Poultry or bone scissors

  • Multi-purpose utility scissors

Check your pair. If you see ridged grooves between the handles that align when the scissors close, you’ve got a built-in gripper ready to go.

A Few Safety Reminders

Before you try it out:

  • Don’t overdo it. Forcing very hard items (like extremely tough shells or large bones) can damage your scissors or hurt your hands.

  • Keep fingers clear. The teeth can pinch if you’re not careful.

  • Clean thoroughly. Food residue, especially from raw meat or sticky foods, can get trapped in the grooves.

  • Stick to kitchen use. It might be tempting to open paint cans or twist wires with it, but that can ruin your scissors.
