What’s the purpose of that jagged section on kitchen scissors?

Bonus Uses You Might Not Expect

That toothed area isn’t limited to jars or nuts. Try it for:

  • Gripping slippery plastic caps (like juice jugs)

  • Cracking crab legs or lobster shells

  • Twisting soft corks from synthetic bottles

  • Holding stubborn twist-ties or plastic seals

Basically, whenever your hands slip and frustration rises, that little gripper comes to the rescue.

Why Do Scissors Include This Feature?

Manufacturers want versatility. Instead of separate tools for jars, nuts, and poultry, a single pair of scissors with a gripper can handle all three. It’s a space-saving multi-tool for small kitchens.

Where you’ll find it:

  • Heavy-duty kitchen scissors

  • Poultry or bone shears

  • Utility or multipurpose scissors

Check between the handles—if there’s a notched or ridged section that aligns when closed, your built-in gripper is ready.
