Kitchen Scissors Designed Specifically to Deal with Three Aspects of Sauce Packets

Modern domestic Japanese cuisine comes with a lot of sauce packets. Curry, soup, miso, ramen flavoring, etc. all come in sealed foil pouches; with certain dishes, you boil the pouch itself to heat the contents, before cutting it open and adding it to your dish.Japanese cutlery manufacturer Yaxell has designed these Squeeze Scissors specifically to deal with sauce packets. The design is quite innovative—the blades actually have three different surfaces along their length, to serve three different functions. The actual cutting edge of the blades is only the small area near the handles. The middle of the blades has no cutting edge at all; this part is for squeezing every last drop of sauce out of the packet. The tip of the blades are serrated. These are meant to serve as grippy tweezers, allowing you to extract a packet out of boiling water without burning your fingers. The scissors are shockingly cheap, at least in Japan, costing just ¥900 (USD $5.75)!
