Abstract

Pair of scissors, in particular hair-cutting scissors, consisting of two scissor halves (1, 2), each comprising a scissor blade and a tang (3) with a grip eye (4, 5, 6, 7), where the grip eye (4, 5, 6, 7) of at least one scissor half (2) is mounted such that it can slide essentially parallel to the tang (3) and be locked in position. The inventive activity consists in the fact that the sliding grip eye (4, 5, 6, 7) is integrally molded on a first handle section (8), and a second handle section (9)is mounted on the tang (3), where the first handle sect-ion (8) can be slid onto the free end of the second handle section (9) and, in this position, can be snapped onto the second handle section (9) in releasable fashion without any adjusting elements, and where the two handle sections (8, 9) form a uniformly closed handle with smooth transitions without disturbing adjusting elements.
