[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 346098, member: 301"][ATTACH=full]116903[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]116904[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]116907[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116905[/ATTACH] This excellent pair of chef's poultry/game sheers were made in Solingen, Germany by legendary maker Wusthof and were sold in this country in the 1940's-50's. But don't be fooled by its beauty; it's as tough as any pair ever made and will readily hack a chicken into its 8 respective parts (9 if you count the tail!). McNugget's weren't always available. Back in the day when you bought a whole chicken, you needed a tool in the kitchen with a thick sturdy blade to hack it apart.While the butcher had his cleaver, this was not always welcomed in the modern kitchen, so a sturdy pair of steel scissors was developed that could chomp thru bone with it'd notched blade... [ATTACH=full]116906[/ATTACH] and saw thru joints with it's serrated front edge, while slicing thru flesh with it's thick sharp heavy blades. I still have my Mom's......just for the memories... The shears were also brought to the table , when birds were served whole. [ATTACH=full]116908[/ATTACH] any questions ? Oh, & I've now seen the OP's model referred to as 80's vintage...so I may have been off with my dating ![/QUOTE]
