It comprises two pivoted blades that are usually provided with a finger and thumb ring-handle and which cut with a shearing action (i.e., the blades cut as the sharpened edges pass one another as they are closed). It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in various designs and sizes, usually having slender, pointed blades set at an angle to the handles. Some types can have carbide inserts along the cutting edges. This is a reusable device.
