A scissor is a type of lever because it works by applying a force at one end which causes a pivoting motion at the other end. In this case, the handles act as the effort arm, the pivot (fulcrum) is where the blades are connected, and the blades themselves act as the load arm. This lever action allows the scissor to cut through materials.
