'''Scissors''' are simple tools designed to cut paper and other thin materials with ease. They consist of two sharpened surfaces which open away from each other, but then can be closed so that the sharpened edges of the blades slide past one another, cutting whatever is in between. <ref>http://www.dictionary.com/browse/scissors</ref> Each blade is a scissor, but they only work properly when used together, so a singe such implement is referred to in the plural form, scissors.<ref name="inventors.about.com">http://inventors.about.com/od/famousinventions/fl/Who-Invented-Scissors.htm</ref>

The origin of scissors is not certain, but it seems that they date at least as far back as 1500 B.C., when the ancient Egyptians used scissor-like devices.  These where constructed from a single piece of metal (usually [[bronze]]).  Two separate blades where made on each end, and a thin strip a metal attached them in the middle.  The device is finished by arranging both blades near each other, with a thin metal strip acting as a spring to push them apart a small distance.<ref name="enchantedlearning.com">http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/italy.shtml</ref><ref name="inventors.about.com">http://inventors.about.com/od/famousinventions/fl/Who-Invented-Scissors.htm</ref><br />

There are gaps in history after this point, but in 100 A.D., the [[Roman Empire]] is known to have adapted the design such that there were two separate blades (scissors) which pivoted in the middle.<br />

In the 18<sup>th</sup> century, Robert Hinchliffe, of Sheffield, England, was responsible for changing scissors into the object used today.  In 1761, he began mass-producing scissors using steel, rather than the iron, brass, bronze, and other simpler alloys which had been used until then.<ref name="inventors.about.com">http://inventors.about.com/od/famousinventions/fl/Who-Invented-Scissors.htm</ref>
