Claim:
A pair of scissors comprising a fingerhook structure in which a pair of pieces of the scissors are supported by a pivotal center portion in such a manner as to allow the scissor pieces to open and close with respect to each other, the fingerhook structure comprising a fingerhook portion formed in at least one of handle portions, wherein each handle portion is provided in one of the scissor pieces, the fingerhook portion including a plurality of elastic projections that are arranged and extend from inward to outward defining a height of a corresponding elastic projection, a finger receiving portion being formed by outer ends of the elastic projections, each elastic projection being deformable by the force applied to the finger receiving portion, wherein the finger receiving portion has a finger receiving surface that is recessed inward with respect to an imaginary plane that connects opposite side portions of the finger receiving portions, and wherein the opposite side portions lie on an outer circumferential portion of the finger-receiving portion, the outer ends of the elastic projections are located on the recesses finger receiving surface, a deformation allowing space is provided in the fingerhook portion at a position between each adjacent pair of the elastic projections, openings of the deformation allowing spaces are exposed between adjacent pair of the outer ends of the elastic projections, and wherein the height of the elastic projections becomes gradually greater from the opposite side portions of the finger receiving portion toward an intermediate portion between the opposite side portions.
