Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 It depends what you are doing, For cliping thread I use a quik-snips, For cutting Deer hair and other demanding work I use a very heavy duty scissors and razor blades, For feathers and other average materials I use a Doctor Slick Micro tip scissors.

ashbourn 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2007 I do not have them in front of me but I think I am using a pair of Dr. Slick 4" Hair Scissors. They have a real nice fine point and cut like a pro. Is it me or are Dr. Slicks new scissors the last year not as fine as they once were? Joe Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2007 I use 3" curved blade. Don't have a reason, but like a lot of other things in this hobby(?) it's a matter of personal preference and what you're used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 My big ones are 4'' or 4 1/2'', My micro tip Dr. Slicks are 3 1/2'' and I don't know how long my quik snips are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crappie 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 I have about six pairs of scissors on my desk.Some to cut tinsel and wire and other to use on other things. The first thing I do is make sure they are comfortable to hold in my hand. I like the bigger rings on the handles as they fit my hand better. The siccors are usually on my hand as I am tying so being comfortable is important. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
