Is there a special name for these multi-purpose scissors, which you can also split into two knives?

My wife bought these some time ago and I first realised them few days ago.

The special name is kitchen shears. You can get them at Target or Walmart or any place that sells kitchen utensils. They come apart so you can clean the salmonella from between the blades, not for use as two knives.

Separated, one is called Greg, and the other is Ian, when together we call it a calendar because we can't tell which is Greg or Ian...

Kitchen shears, poultry shears or whatever you want to call them. There's scores of them on the market. Usually made from stainless & easily disassembled for cleaning. A very handy/useful kitchen tool.

Them are the rare dual victim stabbing scissors.

I believe the proper use is to hold one in each hand, then as you drop from the secret hole in the ceiling, you cross your arms, position the victims neck between your wrists and then swiftly uncross your arms as you pull them away. At least, that’s how it’s done on TV and you can’t get more authentic than that.

I have some that came in a knife set as a gift. The knives are never used, but the shears are used all the time. They will cut nearly anything. I have even used them to cut parts off of my car after a small incident. I used them to cut off part of the bumper.

Pull apart scissors. They do that to be more thoroughly cleaned of raw meat and blood and guts. More hygienic.

They separate in order to sharpen more easily.

Mostly just to clean. These sorts of scissors are usually seen in kitchen use, where you need to be able to clean between the parts.

My former autorepair customer would bring a pair of those over pretending she could not reassemble them just to drop in for a visit.

I have a cut I pair that does this is not junk, besides the ability to deep clean them it’s also better (easier) to tune them up on a diamond stone

Be careful with those during battle. You generally need to put points into the dual wield trait or you will have a successful attack penelty.

I got a pair of these by fiskars. ‘Multi purpose scissors’ is what I looked for. I use them to clean deer and birds after hunts. Amazingly sharp and cleanable. Cuts through bird bones like nothing.

“Knives”?

The shears I’ve owned previously I would have struggled to use as knives. Good for cleaning though.

According to a similar Amazon listing, the serrations on the outer edge are to scrape fish scales.

This takes me straight back to "My Wife Is a Gangster 2"! (the movie name is just coincidence and not related to OP's partner of course..) I remember the heroine fighting with a pair of shears just like these. I didn't know those sort of shears actually existed.

multi-purpose scissors, which you can also split into two knives?

sorry it's a Facebook link but I don't have access to anything Czech: Here in Czechia, we also (as in many other languages) use plural form "nůžky" which can be translated as something like "small knives".
