For maximum performance and longer scissor life - two main rules apply when making a choice.

First - match the scissor to the types of materials you tie with most often. Most scissors can handle both natural and synthetic materials with ease but if you tie predominantly with synthetic materials consider the new generation of scissors like Tungsten Carbide or Razor that are designed to handle these materials.

Second - match the scissor to the size and type of flies you tie. If you tie small flies without much mass or material use small finer blade scissors like Arrow or MicroTip. Conversely if you flytying larger flies with more mass and material consider larger scissors with heavier blades like All Purpose Hair or Razor.
