Dr Slick General Purpose Tungsten Carbide Scissors 4 in.
Dr Slick General Purpose Tungsten Carbide 4.0 in is a straight fly-tying scissor with an overall length of 4.0 inches and the versatile All Purpose frame. Its distinguishing feature is a pair of tungsten-carbide cutting blades welded onto the scissor blade frame. This construction concentrates the material’s properties at the working edges rather than making the entire tool from carbide. The manufacturer describes tungsten carbide as seven times harder than stainless steel, allowing the edges to retain their sharpness longer during regular cutting of fly-tying materials.
The model has straight, non-serrated blades with pointed tips and two closed black finger loops. A smooth cutting edge allows controlled trimming without the gripping action produced by serrations, while the straight profile supports both short cuts close to the hook and longer cuts through material. The scissors are intended for a broad range of natural and synthetic tying materials, with the series developed particularly to deal with modern synthetics.
