Do these have any oil/grease residue on the hinge? Got a set of Camilus shears, can't get the grease smell out. Absurd!

None that I saw. I washed them in the dish washer. They have a locking pivot point that easily allows to separate and clean.

Haven't noticed any grease residue or odor associated with oxo poultry shears. Should be easy to clean since shears come apart easily. Would try dishwasher for cleaning know what camilus shears are.

Nope, no grease or oil. Should not be a problem to wash off the Camilus shears either. .

You probably did not miss anything. I had to spray mine with WD40 and once i got them to move, by screwing them back and forth, I put white lithium grease on the threads. The threads and nuts get road grime on them and will start to corrode the threads and nuts. The grease will help stop this. Also be careful not to drag them when towing. Once you bend them they are very hard to get straightened and even harder to open up.

No, they are not. Also, regarding the black oily substance I found on the knives when I first received them, it is no longer a problem. The knives do not corrode, or give off any kind of substance. It must have been factory residue.

I always hand wash my cooking shears to keep the cutting edges sharper, longer. They are rust resistant. Every once in awhile I see a surface rust spot and remove it with Barkeepers Friend powder.

I don't see or smell lubricant in the sheath. I put my finger inside the sheath and didn't feel any lubricant. The blade is lubricated though. It appears to be some kind of oil that has no odor.

I have not had this issue but I always put them in the dishwasher first and they come out with a non-greasy clean feeling.

I don't think they are. You have to install the zero fittings, and I don't recall seeing any grease . I greased mine after they were on the car to ensure they were properly lubed.Additionally, it is not a sealed joint, meaning periodic lube is required.

Did you run them thru the dishwasher? Can't do that, wash them with a soapy scrub pad that will take the excess tarnish off but handels will remain discolored. Sorry

They have grease "zerks" so they grease themselves during use, but I greased them when I installed them just to be safe.

yes and clean them with a brush too. makes them wear a little better. I oil them before use and then again after cleaning.

There appears to be a nut on the shears opposite the side where they disassemble. That said, I have been using them for almost a year on a steady basis and they have not worn down at the pivot point at all. They are still very sharp and the cutting action is buttery smooth. Definitely not the quality I have owned in the psat where they wore down and required tightening on a regular basis. Please note that I have not tried to tighten them with that nut. See the pictures I added above so that you can see the adjusting nut for yourself.

They do have a strong odor when you open the package. I left mine in the garage for a few days and that helped. There is still an odor but you have to be right near to notice it.

I haven't tried them for that use. They're really rather delicate and break apart easily, so I don't use them much. I kind of doubt they'd hold up to grease. Maybe try Dawn with a nonstick scrubber dipped in hot water. Just a guess.

Don't know, the piece I cleaned didn't have grease or oil stains. I used it to remove the gray patina that happens to teak when left out in the elements!

They cant be removed without using a screw driver, but mine haven't gotten greasy and Iv had them for almost 4 years. If they did I would use paper towels or babywipes
