In Bills v. Superior Court (1978) 86 Cal. App. 3d 855, the court concluded that a pair of unaltered barber scissors could not be a dirk or dagger because "scissors are never designed as weapons but . . . only for use as a cutting tool" and they "are not fitted primarily for stabbing." ( Id. at p. 861.) Bills recognized that a pair of barber scissors could be used as a stabbing weapon and as such could inflict a fatal wound. However, "a pair of barber scissors as constructed" does not have "the characteristics of a stabbing weapon." ( Id. at p. 860.)
