A cutting tool can have two blades which each have a cutting edge and which can be moved relative to one another in a cutting configuration in order to cut a material is disclosed. The cutting tool can be reversibly transferred from the cutting configuration to a sharpening configuration in which the blades are separated from one another for sharpening and/or polishing at least one of the cutting edges by a sharpening or polishing device, and each of the blades can be individually placed onto a level surface so that the blade is oriented at a constant working angle in relation to the surface, or in which the blades are locked relative to one another.

A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a first body assembly having a first blade portion formed from a first non-magnetic material and a first handle portion formed from a second non-magnetic material. The cutting device also has a second body assembly having a second blade portion formed from the first non-magnetic material and a second handle portion formed from the second non-magnetic material. The cutting device further has a fastener formed from a third non-magnetic material, the fastener rotatably attaching the first body assembly to the second body assembly. The cutting device also has a cover assembly formed from the second non-magnetic material, the cover assembly covering the fastener. The first non-magnetic material and the second non-magnetic material are electrically non-conductive materials.

There is disclosed an ergonomic scissors tool and associated methods for performing precise cutting operations in a variety of applications including hair cutting, pet grooming, medical applications, and/or clothing manufacturing, repair, and/or tailoring. One embodiment provides a scissors tool including an upper cutting member extending proximally to distally from an upper digit-receiving eyelet to an upper blade portion, as well as a lower cutting member extending proximally to distally from an upper digit-receiving eyelet to an upper blade portion, where the lower cutting member is disposed beneath and pivotally coupled with the upper cutting member. The upper and the lower blade portions meet at a horizontal cutting plane, and an offset configured for one or both of a user's physiology and the relevant use application separates the upper and the lower digit-receiving eyelets from the horizontal cutting plane. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A pair of training scissors structurally configured to help a child learn proper finger positions for use of scissors. The handles include solid bowl apertures to positioned so that the tips of the fingers are desirably positioned so that the tips of the fingers are utilized to operate the scissors. The scissors also include an illumination feature that encourages a child to practice opening and closing the scissors as they are motivated by the light. This repetition serves to reinforce the proper finger positions, and the repetitions also help develop muscle strength.

A pair of scissors has a first cutting blade with a thumb handle and a thumb ring and a second cutting blade with a finger ring. The second cutting blade is pivotally attached to the first cutting blade, and the first and second cutting blades pivot relative to one another within a first plane. The thumb ring is slidably attached to the first cutting blade by a shaft that moves freely but with a certain amount of friction along a longitudinal slot in the thumb handle of the first cutting blade when the scissors are in use. The longitudinal slot in the thumb handle is situated within a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane.

The hairstyling scissors have a first scissor piece, a second scissor piece, and a pivot axis that connects the first and second scissor pieces, allowing those pieces to rotate mutually in an unimpeded fashion. The first scissor piece is a long narrow piece having a first blade section positioned ahead of the pivot axis, and a first handle section positioned on the gripping-side of the pivot axis with a first finger eyelet. The first handle section is bent over and beyond the pivot axis towards the first blade section. The second scissor piece is a long narrow piece having a second blade section positioned ahead of the pivot axis, and a second handle section positioned on the gripping-side of the pivot axis with a second finger eyelet. The second handle section is bent over and beyond the pivot axis into the side of the second blade section.
