ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a scissor assembly adapted to be in an open or closed position and to be manipulated by a user to cut a selected material. The scissors assembly includes a first scissors member and a second scissors member pivotally connect and biased into the open position. The first scissor member has a handle and a blade. The first handle is formed as an enlarged and elongated shaft sized to fit in a user's palm and be gripped by the fingers, the second scissor member likewise, has a handle and a blade. The second handle has a portion which defines a lever sized to be manipulated by the thumb when the first handle portion is fit in the user's palm and gripped by the user's fingers. In the preferred embodiment, the first handle is formed as a releasable container and the second handle is foreshortened relative to the first handle. In the alternative embodiments, the first handle is formed of implements such as a screw-driver, flashlight or pliers. The scissor assembly can also include a locking assembly to retain the closed position of the blades and a limit stop to limit the distance between the open position.
