Shears useful for cutting hair

Adjustable shears comprising a first blade, a second blade pivotally connected to the first blade for pivoting movement of the blades about a first axis to accomplish a cutting motion of the blades, the shears having an open position in which the first and second blades are spaced apart and a closed position in which the first and second blades are closest together, a first handle connected to the first blade and a second handle connected to the second blade, the second blade including a cutting portion and an extension portion extending from the first axis toward the first handle in the closed position of the shears, a link formed separately from the second handle and second blade is configured to connect the second handle to the second blade and space the second handle from the second blade, the second handle being configured for connection by the link to the second blade in a plurality of distinct positions with respect to the second blade, at least some of the distinct positions being separated angularly from each other about a second axis parallel to the first axis, wherein the second handle is configured for connection to the link in a plurality of distinct positions with respect to the link, at least some of the distinct positions of the second handle with respect to the link being separated angularly from each other about a third axis parallel to the first axis and the second axis, wherein at least one of the link and the second blade is formed with a locking structure for fixing the link and second blade in a selected one of the distinct positions about the second axis, and at least one of the link and the second handle being formed with a locking structure for fixing the second handle and link in a selected one of the plurality of distinct positions about the third axis.
