Weird shears I found while cleaning out my deceased father's property. Can anyone tell me more about them or what the writing says on the blade?

The blade says 茉刀王, which translates roughly to "moss knife king". Perhaps there are compounds I'm not aware of, I don't know much Mandarin.

Im sure it says 菜刀王, which roughly translate to “kitchen knife king”. So it’s probably the name of a brand that produce/sell (kitchen) knives.

Thread snips for sewing. Same design as old sheep shears and bonsai cutters, but on a much smaller scale. Unbelievably cheap in relation to their effectiveness.
These little thread snips are the absolute best thing for removing mats from the fur of fluffy dogs. Super easy to control, and the blades can be completely protected by the fingers so you don't injure your doggie. A model with a small ring for the ring finger is even better, like this one:

Solved!
I can't use the things without pinching the hell out of the palm of my hand. Maybe my hands are too big.
You don't grip them with your whole hand - you just hold them right behind the blades with your thumb and forefinger/middle finger. The far end of the gadget can rest lightly on your middle finger for support. Like I said, thread snips - so you don't really hvae to put much muscle behind them.
That makes sense, thanks for the help!
