I soak, unroll, and cut up rawhide bones for my dog. Hard work. Would these scissors work well for the cutting, or are there others?

I think you would eventually ruin them. They are absolutely with all food, but rawhide is really tough.

These scissors are very sharp-actually all their knives are super sharp. I used them to cut fish bones, so perhaps they will also work on rawhide.

I use them for cutting raw meat for my dogs and really like these scissors. They definitely cut small bones (chicken) and sinew easily. In fact, they are the best scissors I have ever used. I like their ease of use, their comfortable handles and powerful "jaws". I am not sure if they would work for wet rawhide since that's so tricky to hold. For dry rawhide, I use garden clippers (the big kind for cutting tree branches!).

Sorry, I bought these for wood carving. My daughter, who is a chef recommended them to me. She cuts and uses these for all kinds of preparation.

Hello Jacki they certainly should work very well and if they do not then we would be happy to give you a refund. When testing we trimmed the nails of a lot of very large dogs. As ever with these bigger dogs the secret is gentle but firm restraint and then cut very quickly but only remove a small bit at a time. I hope this helps and thank you for a great question.

April 18, 2016. But the chummies are hard as rocks. I haven't been able to cut with scissors and it's extremely difficult to cut with a knife, too. If you have a larger dog, then they will be fine. But if you have a small dog and don't want to feed an entire square to them at one time like me, then you may be disappointed. Or perhaps I just got a bad bag. I've bought them for years in smaller quantities and they were always chewy, this is the first time I've had this problem.

I did not cut these to size, but I see no reason why they can't be. They are thick, though, and I think they would be difficult to cut with most scissors. A utility knife should work.

They would.. but not for forever. I used them for ribbon and was my biggest disappointment. They dulled very quick. Even though they come with a sharpener, it didn't work well for me. You have to know what your doing to sharpen them. Also, the thicker the stuff your trying to cut, the easier the scissors pull apart. Another VERY annoying thing with these scissors. They come apart for other uses, but seem to plop apart on their own whenever.

I don't know if they will work well for that or not. The cuts are very narrow, probably an 8th of an inch or so. I can't see these scissors cutting through anything hard like a dog biscuit. Maybe something like beef jerky but you will be left with more or less shreds.

It would be really hard to cut. These bones are much harder than other types of chew bones such as rawhide.

They are not that sharp, about as sharp as a mid-grade pair of scissors. If the tufts of fur are too thick they cannot cut through - you have to work with very small tufts of fur per snip.

Sprry for the delay in responding . I spoke with my daughter this morning and she said they can be sharpened several times - it will depend on how dull they are and who is doing the sharpening. There are several sharpeners out there but their work is not equal in how they sharpen blades or scissors. My daughter grooms dogs every day.

Yes, most definitely. I have Oster and Andis clippers. Also nice to wipe down scissors with. I have a dog boarding kennel and groom; and I've used this product for years. They also have a spray that is excellent.

They are good for a pet owner who does not groom often. As a professional, I found them a little dull and the fnger holes were very small. So if you have big fingers, you would be dissatisfied. But they cut OK.

I have used them on a Poodle that we just got and they worked wonderful, i also have used them on a shih-tzu, all the times i have used them i have used them on the low setting, one thing to keep in mind is that the blades get really really hot.

I used some sharp scissors and didn't have too much of a problem. They are tough, but they are good for my little ones. I did buy the larger size so I couild split them for the same reason you stated. I think you will be pleased with them.

Scissors will work just fine. If you're worried about fraying you can use a match or lighter to singe the cut edges but it's probably not necessary.

Yes, I've cut them for several projects, like book-marks. I've used good scissors. I don't know about the other kind of cutters. good luck.

You can use goof off to clean the scissors. In future, fiskars make a scissor that is coated with teflon. Those will work better, but will likely need to be cleaned anyway.
