Dr. Slick 3.5" Bent Shaft Arrow Scissors

Dr. Slick scissors are the choice of fly tyers worldwide. Whether you're new to fly tying or a hardened production tyer, Dr. Slick scissors will maximize your fly tying enjoyment, production and quality. Each scissor is inspected, adjusted and tested before leaving the Dr. Slick shop, assuring you a tool that won't fail on the bench. Dr. Slick Bent Shaft All Purpose Scissors, are based on a simple concept. Picking flat scissors up from a flat surface is no fun, and sliding them across your bench to get them in your hand is a time killer. By placing a bend in the middle of the scissor, the problem of picking up is solved. Handles and performs just like a regular straight scissor. Excellent with natural materials and can handle most synthetics. Available in three sizes: 3.5" Bent Shaft Arrow Scissors (Straight)4" Bent Shaft All Purpose Scissors (Straight)4.5" Bent Shaft Hair Scissors (Straight) For maximum performance and longer scissor life, two main rules apply when choosing scissors for tying. First, match the scissor to the types of materials you tie with most often. Most scissors in the Dr. Slick line 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, Razor and Prism 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, MicoTip and Iris. Conversely, if you tie larger flies, with more mass and material, consider larger scissors with heavier blades like All Purpose, Hair or Razor. Great scissors make great flies!
