Scissors were likely invented in 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. [1] These were likely shears with the joint at the far end. [2] Cross-bladed scissors were invented by Romans around AD 100.
An immense stride in perfecting scissors was taken in 1761 when Robert Hinchliffe produced the first pair of modern-day scissors made of hardened and polished cast steel. He lived in Cheney Square, London and was reputed to be the first person who put out a signboard proclaiming himself "fine scissor manufacturer".[3]
In a part of Sweden (now in Finland) an ironworks was started 1649 in the hamlet "Fiskars" between Helsingfors and Åbo. In 1830 a new owner started the first cutlery works in Finland, making among others scissors with the trade mark Fiskars. Fiskars Corporation introduced new methods in the manufacturing of scissors in 1967.[4].

While scissors are commonly claimed to be invented by Egyptians around 1500 BC, the Chinese had them way earlier than that (around 3000 B.C.) These are still used (sheep sheers are what I know them by--they don't have a joint at the back). The more modern cross-bladed scissors were an improvement by Romans specifically around 100 BC.

I'm just curious as to what the scissor was good for before someone joined two of them together.

Unknown. They are known to have been made and used by the ancient Egyptians and Romans, but no one knows who made them first.
