petelangevin 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 I made a trip to wallyworld yesterday and saw these little gems in the craft dept, for 8$ it was worth a try. They have good sharp blades, not serrated but will see how the work with deer hair. Anyone else using these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 Yeah, inexpensive scissors from Wally World and CVS. The only scissors I've got from "fly tying" companies were bought on sale or in a grab bag from a "flea market". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 I have that exact pair. Works as well as any other scissors Ive ever owned. Fly tying specific scissors are a sham, in my ever so humble opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 I have a pair like that, but the finger holes are child size. They stayed sharp a long time after getting them off my knuckles. Work ok if used only with pinky and palm, but other scissors that fit better work better. I think surgical scissors are still ~$4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2020 My scissors typically come from suture sets at the hospital. When one wears out I just grab one from the next laceration repair that comes in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
