Yes. I love the shears for their versatility. They can cut chicken up in a hurry. Enjoy!

My guess is you could. The mesh is very fine, would catch any chicken bone easily I would think... I use ours to strain very fine items, like quinoa.

No, the 2 blades slide off a bone that size. There is a notch near the pivot but I can never seem to use it. These shears do cut up the back of a chicken and around a thigh joint nicely.

I wouldn't think so, the material is rather thin, wider, larger open fibers. I used this materials as a another option for cutains, and I feel it the material was too thin by itself. Looks great with shears though.

You could if the blades were similar to that of a knife. If they are like scissors, no...

Yes, but you need a good grip to cut the ends off thighs and drumsticks. No problems at all with separating joints. They are the best poultry shears that I've found.

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc. Have never had an issue.

The piece that holds it together is metal and part of the blade itself. Have enjoyed these shears for light use. Not tried them on boning chicken yet.

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

I wouldn't recommend it, this electric knife is not durable enough or powerful enough for cuting bone. A handheld knife might be better because I have yet to find a strong enough electric knife for this.

Yes. It's just a heavy duty plastic so good quality scissors or kitchen shears will do the trick.

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.

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.

A boning knife is normally used to debone chicken. A chef's knife is used to cut boneless chicken. However, you can use a boning knife to cut almost anything.

This is a big heavy cleaver for chopping thru bones. I use a chef knife on galanga, but your knife has to be sharp. The cleaver could do the job easily but it would be hard to thinly slice.

The scissors are very sharp. I've been able to cut through chicken tendons between thighs/legs and wing sections but I don't know if they'll cut the bones.
