Generally, the word "scissors" isn't (is is used here since we are talking about a word) used by itself, but follows the counter pair.

Thus, instead of saying something like

"This/These scissors is/are quite sharp!",

we would say something along the lines of

"This pair of scissors is quite sharp!" or "These pairs of scissors are quite sharp!"

Do note that instead of placing the deciding factor on the word scissors, we turn to the word pair instead.

Hope this helps!
