Scissors

What is the difference between scissors and shears? 

Scissors are usually under 6 inches in length with two small matching handles.  Shears are usually over 6 inches (except cutting shears), and have two different length handles for easier cutting.  There is a larger length for the fingers and a smaller length for the thumb.

Who invented scissors?

Leonardo Da Vinci but some say it was the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians scissors do not look the ones we use today.
