Abstract
A pivoted tool with foldable handles, such as a pair of scissors, includes a pair of opposed elongated members, each member comprising a jaw at a front end portion thereof, a handle at a rear end portion thereof, and a midportion where the members cross over each other. A pivot unites the midportions for scissor-like movement of the handles and jaws about the pivot. According to the invention, each member includes a metal plate having a forwardly extending blade which comprises one of the jaws and a rearwardly extending tang. The foldable handles and pivot are made of a moldable material molded onto the metal plate, such that the handles are molded onto the tang of the metal plate and the pivot extends through a central hole in the metal plate. The moldable material is most preferably a plastic, but other moldable substances could be employed.
