Same shears here! I only use them on roasted bird to separate parts. It's a
family heirloom utensil so I mostly keep it around for the memories. That
and it's designed and built so well.

I have a fairly decent pair of scissors to open the air-tight sealed bags
(guacamole, sauerkraut, etc.), like you mention.

Anything else I can attack with a plastic picnic knife.
