Tungsten Scissors Options - Dr Slick for Fly Tying

Tungsten edged scissors will stay sharp a very long time

Please note that Tungsten Scissors have BLACK Handles.
The Tungsten series has tungsten carbide blades welded onto the scissor blade frame. Tungsten carbide is 7x harder than stainless steel and holds an edge longer. These can handle all types of flytying materials, but were created to tackle modern synthetic materials.

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

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 Micro Tip. Conversely if you fly tying larger flies with more mass and material consider larger scissors with heavier blades like All Purpose Hair or Razor.
