    Default Jig tyers??


    What type scissors do you use. Sometimes I need to make a fine cut using just the tip and the cheapos I use don't hack it.

    I lucked out. I bought a whole new set of tools from the_big_Y_fly shop on ebay to compliment the tools I had. It just so happened that it came with much better scissors than the BPS kit I started with. They're not high-dollar, but they're a big improvement. I haven't had anything worth complaining about since.

    I'm on the same fiskars for 5 years and they are still sharp.
    I would never buy anything else.

    I've got so many now I couldn't possibly say where they all came from but....

    My most recent faves are a set I got from the doctor who sewed my finger back on last Nov. We were talking while he worked and fishn' came up (naturally) I told him I was into fly tying and such and he kept working. After he was done he took every tool that comes in the kit and gave it all to me. They get these kits for the job that have everything you need to put a finger back on or what have you. When they're done they throw it all away.

    So if you have a doctor you know ask them if they've been ER duty lately.

    My best scissors came from a set of really good scissors made my the knife company Henckels.

    Here is the set and we use it all around the house. The smallest ones are great for my use.
