To provide twig cutting scissors for sharply cutting thick branches or hard branches, and having a light weight.

A fixed blade 6 of scissors 3 is provided to the upper end of a fixed connection section 2, a fixed frame 19 (fixed handle 4) is provided to the lower end of the fixed connection section 2, and a movable frame 18 (movable handle 5) is pivotably provided to the fixed frame 19 through a first pivot support section 8. Causing the movable frame to pivot relative to the fixed handle 4 enables a movable blade 7 of the scissors 3 to be opened and closed relative to the fixed blade 6, the movable blade connecting to the movable frame 18. A second pivot support section 9 is provided to the movable frame 18, and the movable frame 18 and the movable blade 7 of the scissors 3 are connected to each other through the second pivot support section 9. sidewall sections 22 are formed on the fixed frame 19, and the sidewall sections are shaped so as to expand to the outside of the pivoting radius of the second pivot support section 9 which pivots about the first pivot support section 8 when the movable handle 5 is caused to pivot.
