If they do not come apart, they cannot be cleaned properly · review
The most completely specified shears here: 21.3 cm (8.4 in) in named 5Cr15MoV steel at a stated hardness, titanium-coated, reinforced with strong rivets, and they come apart.
What we would actually buy The only pair here that is both take-apart and specified. That combination is what shears should be sold on.
A 21.3 cm (8.4 in) pair of kitchen shears in 5Cr15MoV stainless stated up to 55 HRC, titanium-coated, reinforced with strong rivets, detachable for cleaning and stated dishwasher safe.
Both. That is the complete answer to the hygiene problem: open them out, put them in the machine, and nothing is left at the pivot.
Steel grade and hardness. On shears, which are almost never specified at all, that is unusual — and 55 HRC is a sensible target, since shears want toughness more than they want edge retention.
Titanium over the steel: harder surface, corrosion resistance, and a color. At the cutting edge it wears away like any coating.
On sale at around $47 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

It hardens and colors the surface. At the cutting edge it wears with use, so treat it as appearance and corrosion resistance rather than as cutting performance.
Cutting bone and cartilage tries to splay the blades apart. Strong rivets at the pivot are what stops that, and they are where inexpensive shears fail first.
