Why this shape

Shears do the jobs a knife does badly. Cutting through a chicken back on a board wants downward force from two handles, not a rocking edge; snipping chives over a pot is faster than any board work; and opening a vacuum bag with a paring knife is how cooks cut themselves. Standard size is the one that handles poultry — the small pair is for herbs only, and buying the small one first is the common mistake.

Good for
Poultry, herbs, parchment, pizza, packaging — the everyday cuts that are not board work.
Not for
Bone heavier than poultry — a rib or a shank wants a cleaver, and levering shears through it springs the pivot.
Care
Wash and dry the blades after raw protein and work the pivot clean. Dry it fully; a wet pivot is where shears seize.
