Thread: Tying Scissors???

    Smile Tying Scissors???

    I have about 10 different tying scissors that I have purchased over the years. I really cann't say I have found a scissors that really is the "one that does the job?

    What have you found that that really does the job? Dr. Slick others?

    Thanks,

    While I have several brands, I keep going back to my Anvil Mini Accu-Tip.

    I'd been using Dr. Slicks since I started tying, but last spring bought a pair of Anvil Ice #60A Slimline Longreach scissors. They're all I use now.

    Sierra Trading Post has a couple pairs of the Dr. Slick on sale for a great price. At $4.50 I'm willing to take a chance on another pair for the bench. Worth a look at least...

    What a bottomless pit this was for me. I bought a cheap pair that I thought would do the job, followed by another cheap pair, followed by, followed by and followed yet again. I wish that I would have just bit the bullet and bought a set of tungsten edged scissors from the get go and never look back. I do like the Anvil Ice scissors and the micro tipped Dr. Slick's those are both acceptable for me.

    These are a good price for tungsten ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-THREE-FLY-TY...d=p3286.c0.m14

    I got a pair of the older small Thompson scissors that are top-shelf. Wish I could find another pair.

    Thumbs up Dr. Slick does it for me!

    I've got four different styles of Dr. Slick scissors and have never found a reason to change to other brands. I do buy cheap scissors for my "dirty" cutting jobs. I am very protective of the Dr. Slick scissors and use them carefully so I expect they will be in use a long time. I'm just not looking for anything better. 8T

    I have a pair of Anvil Ice Stainless Steel with the thumb and finger holes are off set which fit in my hand perfect and I never know they are in my hand through the entire tying session. I really like them and they were only $19.95.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    I have settles on the Dr Slick Razor scissors as my main pair. I have others, like their hair scissor but the razor pair is the one I use most.
