Just hold the bone in the serrated area, apply steady pressure, and let the grooves prevent slipping. Be sure to use a strong pair—lightweight scissors may not handle this task.
Bonus Uses You Might Not Know
This little notch can help in many other ways:
Crack crab legs or lobster shells for seafood dishes.
Open tough plastic caps on juice or milk containers.
Loosen synthetic bottle caps in a pinch.
Hold twist ties or plastic seals securely so you can cut them neatly.
Basically, if something is slippery, tough, or hard to grip, this feature can lend a hand.
Why Do Manufacturers Add It?
Because it adds value and versatility. Kitchen space is often limited, so multi-use tools are especially useful. With this one feature, your scissors can act as a jar opener, nutcracker, and even a poultry helper.
That means fewer gadgets cluttering your drawers and more space saved. For people in small kitchens or apartments, that’s a huge win.
Do All Scissors Have This?
Not all. You’ll most often see it on:
Heavy-duty kitchen scissors
Poultry or bone scissors
Multi-purpose utility scissors
Check your pair. If you see ridged grooves between the handles that align when the scissors close, you’ve got a built-in gripper ready to go.

Don’t overdo it. Forcing very hard items (like extremely tough shells or large bones) can damage your scissors or hurt your hands.
Keep fingers clear. The teeth can pinch if you’re not careful.
Clean thoroughly. Food residue, especially from raw meat or sticky foods, can get trapped in the grooves.
Stick to kitchen use. It might be tempting to open paint cans or twist wires with it, but that can ruin your scissors.
The Hidden Power of a “Goofy Notch”
At first glance, this toothy section may look odd or pointless. But in reality, it’s a clever and versatile helper that many people overlook.
With it, your scissors become more than just a cutting tool—they’re a mini multi-tool: jar opener, nutcracker, bone gripper, and more.
Once you start using it, you’ll probably wonder how you ever ignored it. So next time you reach for your scissors, give that notch a try—you might be pleasantly surprised by what it can do.
