Scissors are usually 6" in length or less and have the same size holes for the thumb and finger, shears are generally 7" or longer and the thumb hole is larger than scissors and angled inside, the finger hole is for two or three fingers and also angled inside to fit the contour of a hand.

A good set of machinists shears will cut fiber carbon and very light metal, and fiber glass sheets with out dulling. Try a real machinists store for great shears.
Oh by the way they are very expensive.
