I’ve resisted adding semi-curved tips despite my preference for that style for fly tying. The issue is it becomes yet another type I need to maintain inventory on – and as I’m a garage business, requires me to double what I keep on hand.

Great for fly tying – I have seen them in use but can’t yet get a pair of my own — but — I am wondering if you are going to make a curved pair as well. Would be another great addition!

Yes. The tungsten scissor holds an edge much longer than the stainless and has an adjustable screw that allows disassembly. Scissor sharpening (by professionals) is still very expensive, and will cost more than the scissors.

Today most scissor sharpeners are mobile vans that frequent barber shops and hair salons.

Received my scissors the other day. Brilliant! One of the best ideas to come along in some time. I’m not a production tier but I tie a lot of flies for myself and fishing friends. I love good tooIs and this is a GREAT one!!

Holding a Fly Tying Class in March
If you supply a sample of your scissors, I will be happy to let the students have a first hand exposure to their use.

Sure. The RPG’s went through one side and kind of rattled around a bit before going off.

Tungsten APCs — who knew? So the CIA didn’t overestimate Soviet strength after all. God, I love this country!

Chuck,

The scissors are made in Pakistan, out of burned out soviet personnel carriers.
