'Scissors' means an instrument in this sentence. So it should take a singular verb.

There is no scissors that does not consist of a pair of metal blades.

No. It's "scissors are" or "there are no scissors".

Thanks for correction. We would go astray without the native speakers of the Forum, especially CJ.

It's not true, however. Child-friendly scissors with plastic blades are widely available.
