I just played a sequence analog to the following in a 9x9 game:

It is certainly a well-known tesuji but I never seen that it has a name.

It is known as the "two stone edge squeeze" or "stone tower" tesuji. See this Sensei's Library page for more information: http://senseis.xmp.net/?TwoStoneEdgeSqueeze

Although that was also my thought at a cursory glance, it's not what is shown. It is simply what I would describe as cutting a double knight's move on the 3rd to 2nd line. Here are the key stones from which I expect a ~15 kyu or stronger to realise it is cut.

:b1: is a jump attachment. :b3: is a clamp. :b5: - :b7: capture White in a ladder.

The whole operation may be called a scissors. That term is not in common use in English, but I saw it (in Japanese, OC) in an old copy of the problem classic, Gokyo Shumyo. (See http://senseis.xmp.net/?GokyoShumyo )

Congratulations on seeing it! :D :clap: :clap: :clap:
