1. A pair of scissors comprising:
(a) a first cutting blade comprising a thumb handle having a substantially flat upper surface and a substantially flat lower surface and a thumb ring; (b) a second cutting blade comprising a second handle having a finger ring, wherein the second cutting blade is pivotally attached to the first cutting blade, and wherein the first and second cutting blades pivot relative to one another within a first plane that is defined by a first axis and a second axis, the thumb handle substantially flat when compared to the second handle; wherein the thumb ring is slidably and rotatably attached to the first cutting blade by a shaft having at least a threaded portion, the shaft moves freely but with a certain amount of friction along a longitudinal slot in the thumb handle of the first cutting blade when the scissors are used to cut, a micro thrust bearing disposed on the shaft adjacent the substantially flat lower surface of the thumb handle, and an upper slide washer disposed on the shaft adjacent the substantially flat upper surface of the thumb handle and the thumb ring rotates on one end of the shaft; and wherein the longitudinal slot in the thumb handle is situated within a second plane that is defined by the first axis and a third axis and by the substantially flat upper surface of the thumb handle and the substantially flat lower surface of the thumb handle, the second plane perpendicular to the first plane, the shaft perpendicular to the second plane, the thumb ring rotating on the one end of the shaft. |
