Anotations

Scope note:

Hand-held tools, typically comprising two blades made of lightweight stainless steel or aluminum mounted on identical finger rings, designed to easily cut through fabric freehand. Unlike paper scissors, which are often equipped with dull blades, these scissors are equipped with sharpened blades so as to make long, crisp cuts in textile materials that span the entire length of the blades.
