pair of scissors
Two-bladed cutter
A pair of scissors is the standard way to refer to a single cutting tool with two pivoting blades.
The "pair" refers to the two blades, not two separate instruments: Hand me that pair of scissors.
The plural *scissors* alone works identically: Where are the scissors?
Multiple units require a counter: three pairs of scissors.
