Peddler 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2004 I use 'Ice' and Dr. Slick fine point scissors for some cutting. They ain't fine enough so I was wondering, would taking a file to the outside edges of the tips ruin the scissors? I would avoid the cutting edges and only take some of the edge off of the outside area of the tips. What do you think? Has anyone tried this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted December 12, 2004 I think you'd be safer if you just went out and got some surgical scissors. I've found some in a local flea market, the ones that opthamologists use for eye surgery are the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to add that to the dubbing picks (little barbed reamers) and thread threaders I got from my Dentist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an added bonus losing a lot of the flesh from your thumb makes double hauling easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bamboo Addict 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Dr. Slick just came out with a new fine point pair that I have been very happy with. If you want a really good pair, check with Hunters Angler Supply in NH. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
