http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pagefeed/..._38237_556.pdf
http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pagefeed/..._38237_557.pdf

notice the references to 'open scissors,' 'joints' (like scissors) etc. Of course I think the Paschal symbolism of a bloody tav is also present in the cross = redemption equation. But there is something deeper too.
