each scissors is made of a pair of almost identical blanks 10 which form the two halves of the scissors identical except that one scissor is more pointed than the other the next step in the method is for formation of the cutting edge 26 of the blank 10 this step comprises the heat treating of the cutting edge 26 and part of the body by passing the same under an oxygen acethylene flame or by other suitable heat treating methods the cutting edge 26 is then ground to a predetermined angle typically 30 u00b0 to the edge of the blank 10 in fig2 the blade portion 22 is shown with the cutting edge 26 formed thereon the other longitudinal edges of the blank 10 are ground to a rounded or beveled condition the grinding steps are preferably achieved by placing the blank 10 on special moving fixtures passing grinding belts the next step is to grind and polish the flat sides of the blank 10 which step is achieved by placing the blank on a small moving conveyor which passes under a series of grinding belts and polishing wheels the next step in the manufacturing of the scissors is to form the handle portion of the scissors such that it conforms with the natural finger position and angle for applying a cutting force the first stage of this step is to bend the handle forming tail portion 20 into a loop having a hollow cylindrical configuration this involves bending the portion 20 in a cylindrical shape with the end edge 18 being aligned with the line 14 to provide a shape as is shown in fig3 and 4 it will be apparent that the edges of the formed handle are defined by the intersection of spaced parallel.
