Do all scissors have this?
Not always. You will probably find the toothed part on:
Heavy-duty kitchen scissors
Poultry or bone scissors
Multi-purpose utility scissors
Look at your pair. If you see notched or ridged grooves between the handles that align when the scissors close, it’s a built-in clipper ready for use.

Some safety reminders
Before you embark on your new discovery:
Don’t force it. If something is too hard (like rock-hard nuts or thick bones), forcing it could damage your scissors or your hands.
Keep your fingers away. Those teeth can pinch you if you’re not careful.
Clean it thoroughly, especially after eating raw meat or working with sticky foods: food residue loves to hide in these grooves.
Stay focused on kitchen tasks. You’d think it could open paint cans or twist wires, but that’s a one-way ticket to damaged scissors.
