An electric scissors having a rotary motor for oscillating a pivotal cutting blade to effect a cutting engagement along a small portion thereof with a ledger blade. The ledger blade, which is normally non-movable during the cutting operation, is mounted such that it may be selectively pivoted into engagement with the cutting blade to effect a snip cutting stroke along substantially the entire cutting blade or a portion thereof. Two embodiments are shown for effecting the snip cut. A first embodiment biases the ledger blade in a normally fixed position by a torsion spring which may be compressed to effect a snip by pushing the ledger blade against a table-like surface. The other embodiment disclose a lever arrangement whereby the ledger blade is pivoted to effect a snip by manually squeezing a lever-link against the force of a spring.
