Barber Scissors

Scissors with single finger handled, and a spur or hook on the upper handle are called barber scissors. The are most often used in hairdressing, barbering and other cosmetic hair work.  The design allows for a high degree of precision when using scissors away from any guide or surface.

Various versions of this type of shears are patented, including designs as recent as 2004 and 2006.

Examples:
