What does the finger tang on a pair of shears provide?

Decoration
More control over the shear
Ability to cut thicker sections
Easier storage options

The correct answer is: More control over the shear

The finger tang, also known as a finger rest or finger grip, is a feature commonly found on scissors and shears that provides additional control and stability while using the tool. This extra support can make it easier to make precise cuts without losing grip of the shears. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the purpose of the finger tang. A finger tang is not used for decoration, it does not provide the ability to cut thicker sections (that is the purpose of the blades), and it does not impact storage options for the shears.
