Scissors for cutting cloth have longer blades than the handle so that: - The mechanical advantage of the scissors is greater than 1. Since the blades act as the load arm and the handle acts as the effort arm, a longer load arm increases the mechanical advantage. - This allows for easier cutting of thick cloth with less effort applied, as the scissors effectively multiply the effort applied at the handle. - Longer blades also allow for a larger range/area of cloth to be cut with each opening and closing
