Shears are an instrument consisting of two blades joined together at the end tangs with a spring. The part between the spring and the blades forms a handle that allows the user to apply the pressure necessary to close the blades during the cutting action. The blades are generally triangular with a straight edge along the entire length, whereas the back of the blade can be convex or straight and in certain cases can be equipped with a reinforcement obtained with a rib.

Shears are an instrument consisting of two blades joined together at the end tangs with a spring. The part between the spring and the blades forms a handle that allows the user to apply the pressure necessary to close the blades during the cutting action. The blades are generally triangular with a straight edge along the entire length, whereas the back of the blade can be convex or straight and in certain cases can be equipped with a reinforcement obtained with a rib.
