These lovely little things are traditional "squeezing" scissors, or Nigiri Basami in Japan. Nigiri = to squeeze.
You hold them high on the handles, near the blades and operate them like tweezers. The spring action is built into the handle.
Their simple, yet precise, cutting action is really useful for sewing, crafts, art projects, bonsai, house plants, cutting herbs or twine. The list of small tasks that require a small tool is long.
