I have only 3 pairs of scissors and a small pair of wire clippers. I've got a small cheap no-name brand that I got with my original fly tying kit I use for really small work, I've got a pair of Dr. Slick 4" Tungsten I use for a majority of work, I've got a large pair of Kershaw scissors I use for cutting through hides and quills, and then I have the wire cutters for umm... well cutting wire Personally I've found using the right tool for the job increases the life span of your tools.
