Scissors Icon
scissors · Essentional Ui · 6 styles
Filed under Essentional Ui, the Scissors icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Scissors lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "scissors", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as the idea of the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger. That places Scissors in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Scissors where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Scissors in 6 styles
Scissors is drawn in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

There is no sprite sheet and no runtime registry lookup over the network. Import ScissorsBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for scissors live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Scissors icon FAQ
- How do I use the scissors icon in Angular?
- Import ScissorsBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui", register it with provideSolarIcons(ScissorsBold) and render <solar-icon name="scissors" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Scissors support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of scissors?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Scissors inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
