A:Â The entire length of the shears is 9.5 inches. They would fit in a slot about 3 inches wide. That measurement is a little iffy because of the shape of the handles. The backs of the blades are 1/8 inch thick. The upper, smooth, blade is sharpened down to about 3 inches and the lower, serrated, edge is 2.5 inches. I would consider the 2.5 inches to be the effective cutting length.

Oxo products continue to get 'recommended' by American Test Kitchen and after putting them through the courses, we agree. These kitchen shears are no different. What we love - these shears are really great at meat and chicken shears. They have a notch that will hold and the cut through a chicken bone with ease. The are spring loaded, so they bounce open naturally. The the number one thing about these shears - they come apart for complete and easy cleaning. Cons - they are over kill for a lot of kitchen actions (e.g. cutting open a frozen bag of veiggies), but otherwise these are winners.

These are some proper poultry shears. I have been trying to use standard OXO kitchen shears when I spatchcock whole chickens, and they were barely up to the task. These poultry shears get the job done.
I recently smoked a whole turkey, and used these shears to cut the turkey spine out and spatchcock the bird. These shears cut the turkey ribs easily. The hip area took some effort, but the shears were able to cut through and did a great job.
Last weekend I grilled some large lobster tails, and after trying to split the shells with a knife with difficulty, I pulled out these shears. They worked so much better than the knife--much easier to cut through the thick lobster tail shells, and I had a lot more control and felt a lot safer doing the cutting with the shears.
The large spring between the handles works well, keeping the shears open during cutting. And the red plastic locking tab at the end of the handles works great. They improved the design from the OXO kitchen shears, as these poultry shears let you tuck the tab into the handle and out of the way. This seems like a small thing, but it really helps.
I'm a big fan of OXO Good Grips products, and these poultry shears are a nice addition to my kitchen tools. I will definitely use them regularly.
OXO Good Grips Poultry Shears has some great features. I has a non-slip handles to help provide a secure comfortable grip when hands get wet or from cutting up chicken. I have medium size hands that the feels good to the hand. The shears are spring-loaded to prevent hand strain, it also has a lock handle to keep the blades closed when is being storage. One side of the blade is a micro-serrated blade to help grip food to gut through the meat and bone with ease. One nice feature is the blades can be separated without using any tools for easy cleaning. I stated to hand wash and do not use a dishwasher or allow soaking in water. In doing so, it will reduce the life of sharpness of the blade. I got to use the Poultry Shear on cutting up a chicken and it cut through bone with ease. Great tool to have in the kitchen to help cut up chicken and other meats.

This review is for the OXO Good Grips Poultry shears, model # 1072292.
After morning grocery shopping, we returned home to find these shears had arrived.
By chance, we had purchased a couple of baked chickens for lunch so thought we
would give these shears a try.
We were surprised how easily the serrated blades cut through this chicken, the torque
by the shears design makes cutting through thick chicken bones a breeze. Loved the
no slip grips, a good design with a quality material. It also comes with a spring loaded
handle and a handle lock for safety around kids. A great product in the kitchen.
Fantastic product and not my first OXO product. Extremely sharp and useful in the kitchen. And very easy to keep clean as the two sides separate so they can be thoroughly cleaned after handling meats and such. When I saw this one available on the market for poultry I just had to have it as chicken is a staple diet here in my home these days. And much cheaper if you buy a whole chicken and cut it up yourself. This handy tool makes it a breeze to do exactly that. My other sheers by OXO are still as sharp and useful as the day I bought them probably now close to ten years ago. Stainless steel blades these precision tools will last for many, many more years I am sure. Two thumbs up on these great products. I highly recommend. Oh and comes with Satisfaction Guarantee. If you for any reason you are not satisfied with this product, return it for repair, replacement or refund. How many companies offer that these days?
These are what you need if you cut up chickens yourself. They work Great!

Great kitchen shears
I generally like all OXO products. But a good pair of kitchen shears is a must have. Cuts through a rack of ribs and makes spatchcock chicken or turkey a breeze! They can be put in the dishwasher after use. I have had mine for several years now and they are still sharp.

Essential for poultry prep
You really can’t spatchcock a chicken or turkey without these. Regular scissors just aren’t heavy duty enough to cut through the bones. These are a good hefty pair that will last a long time. Also good for trimming the ends off a bouquet of flowers before placing in a vase. Very useful to have around.
