The forging technique of Qingzhou scissors is a unique folk craft in Qingzhou. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were handicraft workshops in Qingzhou for making scissors. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Qingzhou's "Da San" scissors (the predecessor of Qingzhou scissors) were already famous all over the country. There has long been a folk song that "Qi's awl is a knife for Ren's family, and Da San scissors don't need to be chosen." Qingzhou scissors are purely small handicrafts and are made by hand. The entire production process of scissor forging has many links and complicated procedures. It takes three stages and 72 processes to make a pair of scissors. The uniqueness of Qingzhou scissors technology is specifically reflected in the four processes of material selection, forming, quenching, and edge grinding. Qingzhou scissors are made of exquisite materials. The back and the strands of the scissors are forged with soft steel (now low-carbon steel), while the blade is made of hard steel (now carbon steel), which is combined by high-temperature forging in a red furnace. After selecting the materials, the production of shear blanks begins. First, materials of different shapes are forged into strips of similar width, and the uneven lengths of broken iron are hot-rolled into a rod-shaped whole, and then they are made into the prototype of the shear body. The next process is forging the shear strands, which requires the shear body below the shear head to be stretched and extended from square to round. Finally, cold processing is performed on the bench, such as snatching the scissors, filing the scissors, grinding the scissors, calendering, filing the shear strands, etc., which are fine finishing processes for appearance beauty, and finally assembled into finished products. Qingzhou scissors have sharp blades, cut silk without drawing, cut multiple layers of cloth without biting or breaking, and are very popular among the people.
