Abstract: Scissors apparatus in which each of the two blade sections includes (1) a blade first subsection adjacent the pivot axis of the scissors, the two first subsections being pivotally movable with respect to one another in a primary shearing plane for cutting thereacross the primary shearing plane, and (2) a blade second subsection, the two second subsections being movable in a secondary shearing plane angled, preferably at 90 degrees, with respect to the primary shearing plane for cutting across the secondary shearing plane. The second subsections preferably being configured and dimensioned for particular uses, such as in-nostril cutting of hair.

Abstract: Kitchen scissors are curved and have a single or multiple blade for safer, faster and more efficient slicing of food, for example. The scissors can be used for various items, such as for cutting meat, vegetables and other food products. The curved design of the scissor blades allows a user to easily operate the scissors to cut items disposed against a horizontal surface without having to uncomfortably and unsafely twist one's wrist as would be required with conventional straight-blade scissors. The scissors can have multiple blades, spaced apart a desired “bite-sized” length, to make cutting food products even faster. The hooked tip not only improves the slicing action by lifting the food ever so slightly during cutting but such hooked tips also have the additional advantage of grabbing food with a tong effect prior to slicing.

The mounting state of each comb tooth group is changed with respect to the first blade, whereby, for example, an extending direction of the comb tooth group is changed based on differences in the direction of eyebrows so that each comb tooth group can be used properly. Since an extending direction of a comb tooth of each comb tooth group inclines, the scissors with comb can be rendered convenient when eyebrows are trimmed.
