I believe the answer is:

scissors

(Other definitions for scissors that I've seen before include "Paper/cloth cutters" , "Cutting implement - outdated high jump" , "Cross sis with two-bladed implement" , "Small shears" , "Cutting tool" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
