Modern cross blade scissors were invented in Rome in about 100 AD by a person or persons unknown.

Scissors were likely invented in 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. These were likely shears with the joint at the far end. 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".

From "The Story of Scissors" by J. Wiss & Sons, 1948:

"Egyptian bronze shears of the Third Century B.C., a unique object of art. Showing Greek influence although with decoration characteristic of Nile culture, the shears are illustrative of the high degree of craftsmanship which developed in the period following Alexander's conquest of Egypt. Decorative male and female figures, which complement each other on each blade, are formed by solid pieces of metal of a different color inlaid in the bronze shears."


Also from "The Story of Scissors" by J. Wiss & Sons, 1948:

"Sir Flinders Petrie ascribes the development of cross-bladed shears to the First Century. In the Fifth Century, the scribe Isidore of Seville, describes cross-bladed shears or scissors with a center pivot as tools of the barber and tailor."
