title: [Scissors (III). Structural characteristics].
abstract: Some characteristics of scissors, such as their sharpness or blade thickness, the specific length of their cutting edges or the total length of the tool, allow one to guess their possible uses. However other peculiarities of scissors which are overlooked are decisive to distinguish the best use of one model instead of another.
