Hi Normand,

I like the combination bodkin and dubbing teaser. I often use both when fluffing up my nymphs so that should be a real time saver. I don't know why the thought never occurred to me, but now that I'm on that track how about a combination whip finisher and thread cutter? Thanks for passing that idea along. 8T

ET..sharpen the end of a Materilli whip finisher...you can even notch it to catch the thread...
Having said that...though I use it I'm not totally satisfied ...I can't keep it sharp and my notch sucks....perhaps it's because I have an off brand ....other folks have done this....

Hi Duckster,

I thought I had a new combination tool because of my new-found ability to think outside the box but apparently you beat me to the combination whip finisher and thread cutter. Very clever, I might add. I was thinking of another combination that might work. I envisioned combination hackle guard and thread cutter but I realized that my hackle guard set already does that at the most inopportune times. I guess there's just no Magic Tool in my future. 8T
