Abstract

In scissors, especially haircutting scissors, with two handles (1, 2) and handle eyes (4) arranged at the ends of the handles, where at least one of the handle eyes (4) is provided with a movable grip eye (5) which accommodates the thumb or a finger of the person using the scissors, in order to guide the scissors with movable grip eye (5) precisely and to reliably position the grip eye (5) in the handle eye (4), it is envisaged that the grip eye (5) is enclosed by the corresponding handle eye (4) along the entire circumference and displays guide elements projecting radially outwards on both sides, which lie laterally against the handle eye (4), meaning that the grip eye (5) can rotate freely about the axis perpendicular to the handle eye (4), while being mounted in the handle eye (4) in such a way as to be incapable of rotation perpendicular to this axis.
