How does scissors work?

Scissors work by using two sharp blades that pivot around a central point, allowing them to slide against each other. When the handles are squeezed together, the blades come together to cut through materials like paper or fabric. The design of the blades creates a shearing action, where one blade pushes the material while the other cuts it, enabling a clean, efficient cut. The leverage provided by the handles enhances the force applied to the blades, making cutting easier.
