ABSTRACT:
A scissors that is designed for use by a particular handed person that is modified to be used by an other-handed person (e.g., a left-handed scissors for use by a right handed person) includes a pivot joint, and two blade members pivotally coupled together. At least one blade member has a levered handle behind the pivot joint. The levered handle acts on a fulcrum member to apply a lever force to a portion of the pivot joint to increase the tension and friction between the cutting edges of the blade members, when the motion of the users thumb and fingers would otherwise tend to pull the blade members apart and decrease tension and friction between the blade members, if no levered handle was present.
