Dexter 7.5" SofGrip Shears

The Dexter 7.5" SofGrip Shears are versatile, heavy-duty cutting tools designed for bait preparation, fishing rigging, and general kitchen use. Originally developed as poultry and kitchen shears, these scissors are equally useful for inshore and offshore fishing applications, including cutting crabs, preparing butterfish, trimming bait, and handling various rigging tasks. The blades are constructed from Dexter-Russell's proprietary DEXSTEEL, a stain-resistant, high-carbon steel designed for durability and reliable cutting performance. Individually ground and hand-honed edges provide sharp, precise cuts, while the specialized blade geometry helps maintain cutting performance through repeated use. Their versatile design makes these shears a practical alternative to using a knife for many routine bait preparation tasks.

The ergonomic SofGrip handles feature a soft, slip-resistant rubber surface that provides a secure grip and helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Dexter's textured handle design improves control in wet conditions, while an integrated finger guard provides additional protection during cutting. An impervious seal between the blades and handles helps prevent water and debris from collecting in the connection points, supporting sanitation and long-term durability. NSF-certified for food service applications, the Dexter 7.5" SofGrip Shears combine commercial-grade materials, comfortable handling, and dependable cutting performance for fishing boats, bait stations, and kitchens.
