skärsax

Swedish

Etymology

From skära +‎ sax. Probably because its shape is similar to the scissors popular in old time, when scissors were made of one single piece metal without the pin (although the glass tool is never sharp enough to be considered as scissors).

Noun

skärsax c

  1. (glassblowing) jack
