Field guide No. 584
Scissors cutting their own blade
A self-sharpening problem.
Against a blue background, a pair of red-handled scissors curls one of its blades off in springy steel ribbons, cutting itself as it closes. Very sharp, briefly.
Field noteScissors cut what goes between their blades. These peel one of their own blades into curls.
