Thank you for all the thoughtful responses! I certainly have many more avenues to explore now than I did when I originally got the object. Hopefully further research on your ideas will yield some good results!

Jens Nordlunde - The "scissors" are not sharp, but are blunt and almost squared off. They are able to move along their pivots. The pins the "scissors" rotate on protrude from the main blade about 1cm on each side, making it so the moving blades cannot rest on the main blade itself.
