Forged scissors are a good purchase if you are looking for scissors that will last your entire life. They are resharpenable, reparable, and contain no plastic or coatings that wears out.

These are made by Fiskars and are stainless steel but you can find some that are made by hand with other steels.

I use these for cutting paper, thread, fabric and thin leather.

      Those are really nice shears. I have a affinity for all-stainless steel kitchen tools.

      If I needed new kitchen shears I’d consider those.

        the categorisation as kitchen shears is a bit weird, but they have all sorts of scissors and shears on there.

          The bottle opener integrated into the handle is probably why the op assumes they are kitchen shears.

          Plus your link is to “kuechenscheren” which translates from the german to “kitchen scissors”.

              Usually, we seem to call ones that cut softer material scissors. “Craft scissors” “hairdresser scissors”

              If it cuts material that’s more substantial, we’ll call them shears.

              “Kitchen shears” “garden shears” “metal shears”
