How do I choose a pair of tying scissors?Updated 10 hours ago

If you tie flies then you need great scissors.  But in the same way that a caddy doesn’t just hand a golfer a random club, we want to direct you to the scissors that were designed with your ideal use in mind.  That means better flies and a more enjoyable time at your bench.

When deciding on scissors, ASK THESE QUESTIONS:

Are these scissors sharp? Tying scissors need to be sharp.  That’s why every pair of our scissors is hand-honed right here in the USA before they arrive at your bench.

Which materials am I using? Scissors cut tying materials, whether that means thread, feathers, hair or foam.  For best results match your scissors to the materials you’re using.

What size of fly am I tying? Sorry, but scissors aren’t one-size-fits-all. You’ll be pleased with the efficiency of being sure to pair your scissor size to your fly size.

What fits best in MY hand? We can tell you how these scissors were designed, but we can’t tell you what fits your hands best.  Go to your local fly shop and hold our scissors.
