who or when was the scissor invented?

Answer 1

Scissors were likely invented in 1500 BC in ancient Egypt[3]. These were likely shears with the joint at the far end[4]. Modern cross-bladed scissors were invented by Romans around AD 100.

An immense stride in perfecting scissors was taken in 1761 when one Robert Hinchliffe produced the first pair made of cast steel, hardened and polished. The forming of the bows was his greatest difficulty. Somehow he solved problems with the hole. A ready sale was found for his wares in London and other markets. He lived in Cheney Square, and was reputed to be the first person who put out a signboard proclaiming himself "fine scissor manufacturer".

In a part of Sweden (today Finland) an ironworks was started 1649 in the hamlet "Fiskars" between Helsingfors and Åbo (fi: Turku). In 1830 a new owner started the first cutlery works in Finland, now a part of Russia, making among others scissors with the trade mark FISKARS. In the sovereign Finland FISKARS Corporation introduced 1967 new methods in the manufacturing of scissors and in 1977 FISKARS built a scissors plant in the U.S.A. (Wausau, Wisconsin).

Answer 3

The invention of scissors can be traced back to the earliest incarnation - the lever - first described by Archimedes around 260 BC. Scissors made of one piece of metal - not the two-blade lever action scissors - have been found in ancient Egyptian ruins from as far back as 1500 BC. Modern cross blade scissors were invented in Rome in about 100 AD. The common use of scissors began in about the 1500s AD in Europe.

In the end, it is Leonardo da Vinci who is credited with the invention of scissors, supposedly to cut canvas that did not please him when he was painting. He apparently was a very picky painter and wanted only the best parts to show.
