Abstract

See full text

Each of handles of a pair of scissors includes a hard core member and a soft member softer than the core member and including a contact face portion with which a finger of a user comes in contact, a bottomed recessed hole portion adjacent to the contact face portion and thinner than portions around it, and a through hole portion continuous with the bottomed recessed hole portion. When the user inserts and removes his/her fingers into and from finger rings, the contact face portions escape while compressing the through hole portions and the contact face portions tilt by using the bottomed recessed hole portions as fulcrums. Moreover, the bottomed recessed hole portions and the through hole portions continuous with each other are molded, which allows an elastic deformation property and a shape retaining property of the contact face portions to go together and also contributes to durability of the soft members including the contact face portions.
