Answer 1

scissor are just 2 mediocrity sharp knives with the blades pressed together

if the scissors aren’t designed for the angle of force you apply to them they will separate instead of rub on each other

as an ambidextrous person i have learned how to ‘force’ the blades together on wrong handed snipers and scissors… it can cause cramps if done long enough but it works.
