Quoting%20commentary for Kelim 13:1

הַסַּיִף, וְהַסַּכִּין, וְהַפִּגְיוֹן, וְהָרֹמַח, מַגַּל יָד וּמַגַּל קָצִיר, וְהַשְּׁחוֹר וְזוּג שֶׁל סַפָּרִים, שֶׁנֶּחֱלְקוּ, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, הַסָּמוּךְ לַיָּד, טָמֵא. וְהַסָּמוּךְ לָרֹאשׁ, טָהוֹר. מִסְפֶּרֶת שֶׁנֶּחְלְקָה לִשְׁנַיִם, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין:

The sword, the knife, the dagger, the spear, the hand sickle, the grain sickle, the hair-pincers, the pair of scissors that were separated - these are subject to impurity. Rabbi Yosi says: [the portion] close to the hand is impure; [the portion] close to the head is pure. Scissors that have been separated in two - Rabbi Yehuda declares them impure, but the Sages declare them pure.
