Wow! Who'd have thought there were so many pics of scissors out there. I don't like scissors, or knives, but I just can't help looking.
I find the design of scissors to be elegant and pretty, but some of these are really beautiful.
From Wikipedia...
The noun "scissors" is treated as a plural noun, and therefore takes a plural verb a("these scissors are"). Alternatively, people refer to this tool as "a pair of scissors", in which case it (a pair) is singular and therefore takes a singular verb ("this pair of scissors is"). (In theory each of the two blades of the tool is a "scissor" in its own right, although in practice such usage is seldom heard.)
The word shears is used to describe larger instruments of similar kind. As a general rule:
* scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size.
* shears have blades longer than 6 in (15 cm) and often have one small handle with a hole that fits the thumb and one large handle with a hole that will fit two or more fingers.

No matter how little I find much of any pleasure in scissors, I couldn't help but like this picture.
I think it was called "Setting you free" or something like that.

From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Scissors. The Latin cisorium, from cædere, to cut. In English the word was for centuries spelt without the c; the sc- spelling appeared in the 16th century, and seems to be due to confusion with Lat. scissor, the noun from scindere, to split or rend. Scythe, formerly sithe, has suffered in the same way.
