People stunned after finding out what the actual purpose of the metal part between handle of scissors

There are many items lying around in households that are not used to their full efficiency. Mostly, people end up using these devices and objects in the wrong way throughout their lives or they never end up figuring out how to use them. Take a pair of kitchen scissors for example. Other than cutting stuff with the main pair of blades, some of us might have wondered about the weird set of metal teeth on the inner side of the knife's plastic handles. u/No-Bike42 on Reddit shared an image of one such pair of scissors and asked the community to explain what those metal teeth are for.

"Does anyone know what this part of the scissors is for?" the person asked alongside the image. The Reddit community jumped in to provide detailed explanations about the strange metal teeth on the scissors. The specific pair of scissors are kitchen sheats and the little set of teeth are useful for several culinary tasks. u/Mammoth591 explained, "For taking off tight bottle caps, just put it around the cap and squeeze. The teeth will bite into your grip while the scissors give you more leverage to turn." ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 

u/Joshyboy28 commented, "It's sometimes called the 'bone-notch' or the 'serration-grip'. They're generally multi-purpose, and most have been covered in the other comments but to summarise, they can be used for cracking nuts, gripping or breaking meat bones, opening bottles and removing raised wine corks." u/Pleasant-Put5305 remarked, "Those are the traditional knob-grabblers. They were very popular back in the day, not sure we have much use in this day and age." u/Capable-Chicken-2348 joked, "I wouldn't open a jar with some weird opener with two blades sticking out, seems a lot more dangerous than using it as a nutcracker." ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 

u/renebelloche noted, "I’m not disputing the truth of this but it does not seem very safe. It’s like if my wine bottle opener had multiple knife blades sticking out at random angles—not ideal." u/Sanfranciscoma wrote, "I use it to break bones or shellfish, a bottle opener is a first." u/Mammoth591 quipped, "Imagine for a moment there was a world where things can be used in multiple different ways. What a crazy world that would be, right?" u/rarrowing added, "Was literally just saying I need these grip things to get the cork out of the prosecco!"

CNET described in one of their articles that people are definitely not using kitchen shears enough. "Shears can do the obvious cutting and trimming, but the right set can accomplish a laundry list of other tasks around the kitchen, home and even the outdoors, many of which you may not have considered," the outlet mentioned. "Having a pair of scissors handy is helpful for many reasons, and some are obvious. Breaking into a stubbornly packaged box of this or that, cutting twine for trussing a roast, trimming herbs and scallions or cutting up old cloth to make dish rags."
