Scissor cigar cutter having at least three blades and method therefor

Abstract

A scissor cutter ( 100 ) includes two scissor handles ( 102, 104 ), a frame structure including a main ring ( 106 ) and a secondary ring ( 108 ) that are movably connected to each other, and at least three blades ( 118, 120, 122 ). The main ring ( 106 ) is connected to one ( 102 ) of the two scissor handles and to one end of each of the at least three blades ( 118, 120, 122 ), and the secondary ring ( 108 ) is connected to the other one ( 104 ) of the two scissor handles and to another end of each of the at least three blades ( 118, 120, 122 ). When the two scissor handles ( 102, 104 ) move relative to each other the main ring ( 106 ) and the secondary ring ( 108 ) move in a rotational motion relative to each other and the at least three blades ( 118, 120, 122 ) move relative to each other reducing a central region ( 302, 408 ) defined by respective cutting edges ( 402, 404, 406 ) of the at least three blades ( 118, 120, 122 ) thereby cutting a cigar or other object located in the central region ( 302, 408 ).
