Anvil Scissors ?

[BucktailJiger]

Want to get some new scissors that are sharp and will last . Looking at Anvil , are they good ?

I have the Anvil Ultimate Scissor, very shape and will cut all the way to the tip. Money well spent.

I just use Fiskars . When they get dull I just sharpen them on the neck of a old old blue glass Coke bottle.

Haven't used them, but hear they are good. I use Dr Slick and they work good for me. If your gonna be cutting hair make sure at least one side is serrated.... And Anvil are.

I use the Thompson midge - they are adjustable - comfortable. I don't put scissors down when I tye

I have a few Anvil things, but not the scissors.

Quality.

I've got some really fine point scissors that I get at the flea market for $2 bucks a pair and they work great.

When I cut hair off the hide I have a pair of Fiskars I got at JoAnne's fabrics.

LedHead - I've tried to tie without putting the scissors down and just can't do it!!!! For me it's just easier to put them down.

Well, they're made in Indiana. Though, I do not own a pair. I do like their offerings, particularly the thinning scissors.

I should mention that my favorite pair of "fine tip" curved cuticle scissors are Sally Hansen Soft Grips that I've used regularly for 8 years. However, I cut thread or yarn with them and nothing else. For thick hair cuts, I use a pair of larger Revlon curved nail scissors (I can feel each individual fiber being cut by the blades). Soon, I'll be cutting animal skins. So, I'm trying out a pair of Tim Holtz (by Tonic Studios) Scissors with a micro-serrated blade. I'd rather cut zonker strips with those than have to build my own razor blade apparatus to use.

Did I mention that I bought a bead reamer recently?

I'm on my second pair only becuase I sold the first when I liquidated my fly tying gear not thinking that jigs were on my radar. Those and my Peak vise are two items I'll never let go of again as long as I'm fishing.

Yeah I recently got one too, makes it so much easier to clean out jig heads after painting them.
