A rough idea for butterfly-like "pocket scissors", inspired by the #Baliscissors, but simpler and ~8 cm short. Made with #FreeCAD #Assembly4

The pins will be replaced by the ends of a torsion spring (like those in clothespegs) that would sit in the middle of the axis. They connect handle and blade: Pushing the blades together when the handles are folded inwards or pushed together to make a cut.
