About this eBook
Scissors Cut Clean explores the fascinating history and design evolution of scissors, transforming our understanding of this seemingly simple cutting tool. From ancient Egypt, where early scissor-like tools emerged around 1500 BCE, to modern surgical and industrial applications, the book traces how necessity and ingenuity shaped their form and function. Early scissors were not pivot-based but resembled tweezers; the invention of the pivot was a pivotal moment, enabling greater control and cutting force. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of the earliest forms and moving through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, highlighting regional variations and manufacturing techniques. Readers will discover how scissor design reflects broader technological and societal progress. The book shows how scissors are a microcosm of tool evolution, influencing industries from textile production to hairdressing, and emphasizing the human element in design.
