Sous Chef ARC Tools Stainless Steel Take-Apart Kitchen Scissors

Good kitchen scissors should be one of the most useful tools in your drawer. These are exceptionally sharp, smooth and satisfying to use, with blades that cut cleanly without the snagging, squeezing or repeated snipping you get from a tired pair of scissors.

Reach for them to snip herbs and spring onions straight over a dish, trim baking paper, cut kitchen string, open food packaging and tackle all the little kitchen jobs where reaching for a knife and chopping board feels unnecessary.

When Kristin, our cookware specialist, first tested them, her reaction was immediate: “It felt like I was cutting through absolutely nothing.” That effortless cut is exactly what we wanted from them.

The scissors you’ll keep reaching for

There are certain kitchen tools you don’t realise are frustrating until you replace them with a really good version. Scissors are one of them.

A blunt pair tears at herbs, struggles through packaging and makes you squeeze harder than you should. ARC Tools scissors are the opposite: the blades move cleanly through what you’re cutting, so you can make an accurate snip without crushing, dragging or hacking your way through it.

Use them for finely snipping chives over eggs, cutting spring onions directly into a bowl, trimming parchment to fit a cake tin, opening packets of ingredients, cutting butcher’s string or dealing with the countless other small jobs that crop up while you cook.

Made for cooks, not the stationery drawer

We wanted our ARC range to cover the tools you genuinely use when you cook. Not dozens of gadgets, but excellent versions of the things that earn their place in the kitchen.

After developing our ARC Edge knives, a really good pair of scissors felt like an obvious addition. They should be close at hand, beautifully sharp and capable of doing their job so smoothly that you barely notice the cut itself.

These are exactly that.

How to care for your ARC Tools scissors

Wash after use and dry thoroughly before storing. Keep the cutting edges protected from knocks against other metal utensils so they stay sharp for as long as possible.

Pair your kitchen scissors with the Sous Chef ARC Edge knife range: four carefully chosen blade shapes designed to cover the jobs cooks actually do.
