History of Science

Scissors:

The ancient Egyptians used a version of scissors as long ago as 1500 B.C. They were a single piece of metal, typically bronze, fashioned into two blades that were controlled by a metal strip.

The Romans modified the Egyptians' design in 100 A.D.? However, for a reason or another, Leonardo da Vinci has often been credited with inventing scissors.

Although the actual inventor of modern scissors is hard to identify, Robert Hinchliffe, of Sheffield, England, should be rightfully acknowledged as the father of modern scissors. He was the first to use steel to manufacture and mass-produce them in 1761.
