The History and Use of Scissors

The history of scissors dates back to the time of the ancient Egyptians, who first used scissors around 1500 BC. These early scissors had a simple design and lacked a pivot point. It was not until around 500 BC that the Romans began to use scissors extensively for cutting leather and textiles. The materials they employed, such as iron and bronze, made the scissors more durable and effective.

Over the centuries, much has changed in the design and functionality of scissors. Today, scissors are indispensable in our daily lives, both for professional use and household tasks. At ELGA Supplies, you will find a wide range of scissors suitable for various applications. Some examples include:
