The first and second components are pivotably coupled in a scissor action to allow the blade and anvil to be moved toward and away from engagement with each other. Additionally, the anvil is operatively connected to the handle assembly such that it reciprocally rotates back and forth about the second component in response to relative movement of the first and second components in the scissor action. 231/8 .o & Oj C)O 044
