Kitchen scissors, also known as kitchen shears, are similar to common scissors. The main difference is the location of the pivot. Kitchen scissors have the pivot located farther from the handles to provide more leverage and thus more cutting power. High quality kitchen scissors can easily cut through the breastbone of a chicken.
