This wicked cool looking series revolves around the time savings and ergonomics of a bent shaft instrument. The loops on the super sharp razor scissors are raised and exposed, allowing the user to simply put their fingers into the loops without having to slide them across the bench to get them in hand or worse, dropping them on the floor! For those who keep scissors in hand while tying, the bent shaft is more ergonomic than a straight shaft, and follows the contours of your hand. Less hand fatigue=more flies leaving the vise. The bent shaft on the versatile scissor clamps allows for a greater range of motion vs a traditional straight shank or curved jaw clamp. Perfect for excavating flies from a fish&&';;s pie hole. For these 4.5" Hair Scissor - Long heavy blades are designed for large flies and tough materials. If you work with hair or other heavy materials, this is a true workhorse. Excellent for natural materials and can handle most synthetics.
