Talk:Scissors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does friction actually cause the cutting, or is it the act of shearing the material to be cut? If there were a frictionless material to make blades of, I surmise they could be solid blocks , be perfectly pressed together, and cut more effectively than any friction-full scissors.

Well, now to the article:Scissors. Under the heading History a casual editor Markusbo123 has 18 April 2006 omitted some historical facts, which can be found in the link [6] page 6, "Finlands annexion to the Swedish realm in the 1100s..."; page 10, "The Founder of FISKARS Ironworks Peter Thorwöste arrived from Holland, obtained in 1649 the concession (of Christina, the Queen of Sweden); page 22, the Cutlery Works started by a new owner in 1830, when Finland was "an autonomous Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire"; page 33, in 1917 Finland issued its Declaration of Independence; in 1967 FISKARS introduced new methods in the manufacturing of scissors; page 39, in 1977 FISKARS built a scissors plant in the U.S.A. (Wausau, Wisconsin). Some details may be reverted to the History as in 14 April. Comet27 17:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
