Are the blades long enough to easily cut through large chicken breasts? They look a little short so it appears you might have to make multiple cuts.

They are 3 inches and they work great for me. I have purchased two other sets for gifts and everyone likes them.

They are definitely not long enough to cut through an average chicken breast in one go.

I have used it to cut roast with no problem, but never tried chicken breast.

Well, there are different plates for making thin and thick slices. The blades in the plates themselves are not adjustable.

The knives are extremely sharp ... I see no reason why they couldn't be used in cutting meat, unless you are used to a larger knife; the largest knife here is five inches (blade size). The normal pointed end on these knives is rounded, so you can't use the point to jab the meat and pick it up ... that is the only place where there might be a problem, if you are used to doing that; otherwise, it works for me. (I actually like the rounded tip since the blade is less dangerous)

I did chicken breast with no issue. Chicken is low in fat so there never really seems to be a problem. I sometimes run into issues when I am grinding hit fat content pork because the fat gets tangled in the blade and I have to stop and clear it out. I would still recommend this product though.

It is not as long as a full sized carving knife. You may wish for more length for big pieces of meat. However, it is a nice knife.

You have to take the blade off first, carefully. Then by using a screwdriver from the back take out a few screws that are holding pieces that need to be cleaned. Remember what goes where, and how you got it apart. I had to figure it out by trial and error. Probably will be easy if I do it often enough, but I only use mine once in a while. It is a nice slicer. My first attempt was chicken breasts - unfrozen. I made a mess, so I had to learn how to take it apart and clean it!

Yes! I cut up a whole chicken recently and it was like a knife through butter.

I have not tried to slice chicken. I can not get big enough pieces of chicken to be comfortable with slicing it, because I don't like the idea of my hand being so close to the slicer.

Yes I would our blades only lasted for 3 lambs before dulling. Make sure to have animals clean and dry it makes it easier on blades.

I love my Kitchen Aid Shears...they cut chicken skin and fat with out much effort... I use they nearly daily.

I haven't tried but am pretty sure it would as long there weren't huge stems from say a rosemary plant or large seeds like coriander. The blades are fine, yet strong and very sharp so they should cut up most dry herbs quite easliy.

No, the 2 blades slide off a bone that size. There is a notch near the pivot but I can never seem to use it. These shears do cut up the back of a chicken and around a thigh joint nicely.

It may, because they're not as flimsy, but it seemed that the blade wasn't sharp enough to cut anything. Honestly, I'd keep looking.

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

No you have to get different length blades for each side. one blade does not fit all.

The edges are round, so you will cut away the rounded edges. You will also need heavy duty scissors to cut. Scissors use for cutting chicken should work. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately not, I had the same problem. I did by two more of the knifes, they work OK but not made as well as my original one.
