Designer Effrat Gommeh sketched out a pair of scissors that slip over the index and middle fingers and actually cut when you make that cutting motion Uncle Joey loved so much on Full House.
The scissors are actually a great-looking design concept, and though it seems you’d get less leverage using two fingers than with the inclusion of a thumb, I’d probably buy a pair to keep on my desk so people think I’m, you know, cultured and stuff. The finger scissors are constructed from a bunch of two-dimensional metal parts, which is pretty cool in itself. Looks like they’re just a concept for now, but a very cool little idea. [Yanko Design]

what an amazing concept!. One question though. I wonder if they’re able to be used left handed? We lefties seem to be forgotten when it comes to standard scissors with moulded plastic handles that never quite fit in your hand properly. Just remember to take them off before shaking hands with your boss.
