I like the Thompson midges, not real thin tips, though I have had
sewing shops grind them :-) The finger holes are adjustable which I
like .
It's hard to find all those qualities one scissor willi, fact is I
have not been able to

Do a Google search on "surgical instruments" or "dissection instruments".
Scissors sold by manufacturers and distributors of this stuff come in a wide
variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the better ones list precise
dimensions.

Another option is to visit a local hospital or veterinarian and explain what
you have in mind. Odds are you'll find someone who will show you
instruments or at least a catalog.
