Steel scissors exist in two basic forms. Carbon steel is used to make scissors in which the blade and the handle form one continuous piece. Carbon steel has the advantages of being strong and staying sharp. Scissors made from carbon steel are usually plated with nickel or chromium to prevent them from rusting.
Stainless steel is used to make scissors in which a plastic handle is fitted to the metal blade. It has the advantages of being light and rustproof. The Plastic handles of scissors are made from a strong, light substance such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) plastic as well as PVC.
Meerut scissor manufactures use the “kamani” (spring steal) bought from the railways or automobile industries. The scrap metal is collected and roller machines used to make them into plates. These metal plates are then used for either press cutting, or hand forging. Where brass handles have to be added for increasing the weight and give finishing, the handles are casted after the steel blade ends are fitted into the moulds
