The invention relates to scissors and a sharpening device. The scissors include two blades, each blade having a cutting edge and a back edge which respectively form opposite longitudinal edges of the blade. A pivot connects the two blades for relative movement of the blades between an open condition in which the cutting edge of each blade are apart and a closed condition in which each blade are substantially adjacent and the back edge of each blade projects beyond the cutting edge of the other blade. The blades also include a sharpening condition in which the cutting edge of each of the blades can be sharpened. A biasing means is included for biasing the blades away from the sharpening condition towards the closed condition and/or the open condition. The sharpening device is for scissors including two blades having a cutting edge. The sharpening device includes a hollow housing for receiving the blades of the scissors, a pair of positioning units within the housing arranged in an opposed relationship to receive the blades therebetween when the scissors are inserted into the housing, and a pair of sharpener units located within the housing arranged in an opposed relationship to contact the blades therebetween. |

A sheath structure of stationery scissors has scissors and a sheath. One end of the sheath is provided with holding parts for holding fixing parts at the pivotal intersection of the scissors, enclosing the scissors within the sheath. The sheath is further provided with a fixing assembly that slides and positions inside the sheath. The fixing assembly is mounted with a knife, so that the knife is extended from or retracted into the sheath by the fixing assembly. Such a sheath structure can be used to cover the scissors and be used as a knife as well. Therefore, it has double functions at a lower production cost. |
