If I cut a thing in two, are the two pieces together exactly the same size as the original?

Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?

Are you talking molecular level? Then yes, some is lost. If you're talking human noticeable levels, it depends on the material and cutting method.
