I have tied many Antlope Hiar mice over the years. It will cut like you were told. Make shure to use a flat tying thread it will help you in tying with it. I also put a drop of head cement after each clump of hait I spin on. This will stop the hair from turning on the hook after the fly is tied. I can tell you that I use to sell a lot of these to a Lodge in Alaska for the large rainbows up there. Ron
