Buttonhole scissors work like regular scissors except that they are missing part of the scissors blade near the hinge of the scissors. This allows you to cut a slit into the fabric without cutting through the edge of the fabric. See related link for graphic.

Buttonhole scissors only have a partial blade on each side. The cutting ends are down near the tips, and there is a gap higher up so it only cuts a buttonhole instead of an entire slice.
