ScissorsScissors are a tool used for cutting thin material which requires little force. They are used for cutting, for example, paper, cardboard, metal foil, thin plastic, food, cloth, rope and wire. They are also used for cutting hair and nails. Unlike a knife, scissors have two hinged blades. Most types of scissors are not particularly sharp; it is primarily the shearing between the two blades which cuts. Children's scissors are even less sharp, and are often protected with plastic. Better than a knife for some applications, scissors can be used for cutting out a newspaper article, a picture, etc. Scissors can also be made to fit left-handed or right-handed. Using scissors designed for the wrong hand is very difficult for most people, and ambidextrous models are available. Specialized scissors
