Would massive scissors be effective in a sword fight?

[Canny McTin-Face]

It would be slightly slower, but it can be effective. You can slash someone easier, and you can strech it to the very end and use it like a sword. Maybe it would work.

scissors aren't made with slashing in mind

They should eat a lemon peel and all instead of using giant scissors, much better tactic (though the best weapon of them all is the don patch sword!)

Unscrew em apart and you got two blades. Bam.

darn beat me to it

also scissors are essentially duller sword blades and tinier, so a bigger size, and probably sharper too would be actually pretty useful unless someone pulls out a rock
then you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥

akame ga kill and kill la kill

one 2-hand long sword versus twol 1-hand roman short swords would be an interesting fight scene...

a large scissor? whaaaat? do you wanna cut opponent's hair while in combat?

again techinically scissors are a duller smaller sword blade
if you sharpen them you may actually cause some damage, especially bigger ones that take 2 hands to use. Plus you can probably catch swords, grasp them, maybe cut them in half then go in for the kill

They would effectively turn a 'sword fight' into just a'fight' ;-)
Would they be effective against a sword in a fight? Depends. If the swordfighter is the average gamer or renaissance fair visitor - probably. Thacking and stabbing blindly at one another makes the outcome of the fight a matter of luck, not weaponry. Against someone who trained some technique of swordfighting (and with that I mean take training, not repeating moves once seen) not a snowballs chance in hell.

Duller, smaller, more prone to breaking and not really balanced for fighting. T catch a sword used by someone with even the smallest amount of training is going to hurt, as you won't be able to put your strength to good use against your adversary thrusting the sword towards you even while held with the scissors.

Cue the Clock Tower flashbacks.

Not the Scissorman...

MMM-SCISSORMAN!

[Captain Morgan]

You 've had too much Diablo 2! Hand Scissors is an assassin signature weapon, lol. Yes, they were quite strong, but not exactly like a normal scissors.

[Spartan_Warrior]

There's actually a major difference in how they're constructed.

Scissors aren't strong enough to survive combat, let alone sharp enough to kill somebody. A sword-sized pair of scissors would probably be too heavy to lift.

There's actually a lot of science in a sword blade. They're made from a very specific type of steel alloy, which is both very light and somewhat flexible. This is to stop it shattering when it hits something. Scissors are made of whatever low-grade steel was available, and would probably break on a hard impact.

You're better off fist fighting unless you're weak.
