Bypass secateurs have two blades that pass each other, with a cutting action similar to scissor blades. The blades allow a gardener to get into tighter spaces, whether to cut near a bud or to cut side-shoots back to the main stem. Bypass secateurs are the type you are most likely to come across. But if you have a lot of woody, hard stems to cut, then it is worth considering anvil secateurs as a second pair.
