Scissors

Scissors are bladed tools used for cutting things like paper, ribbon, hair and kite strings. If necessary, they can also be used as a handy weapon. Safety protocols teach us that you should never run with scissors. You could put an eye out!

In film
In the 1990 fantasy film Edward Scissorhands, the eponymous hero of the film is an artificial human who has scissors in place of hands. Which really sucks if he has to scratch his balls! Ed's pretty adept at getting by with his scissor hands however, and he quickly becomes the local celebrity of a strange suburban town, using his gifts to give the ladies of the neighborhood extravagant haircuts and creating some really complex topiary.

Deranged serial killer Michael Myers was known to employ a variety of weapons in order to kill those that got in the way of his objectives. He used a pair of scissors to stab Rachel Carruthers - foster sister of his niece Jamie Lloyd, to death.
