Tony: I have had these Thompsons since 1985 and they still cut great. They both have the red handles. One pair have the large finger loops that I have bent so that they sit on the tying table and you can pick them up easily. The other pair is like what a barber would use. Thank you, Alan Di

Rene, You have the right to have and use as many tools as you want. The tyer with the most tools is the winner even if you don't use them all. LOL   I can't tell you how many tools I have accumulated over the years that I don't use. I have not picked up a whip finisher in over 25 years, I have

I have and love my Dr. Slick, also an Ice scissors, but, my very favorite is a cheap (I think I paid $2.98) Griffiths tying scissor which has one blade serrated and which I put in the brake in car class and put a bend in it just 1/2 inch above the scissors handle, this modified shape perfectly

You've heard of a humpy and a double humpy, Well, Buggs wanted a triple humpy, and then Dr. D wanted a quadra-humpy. And then Veronica piped up and said to tie the 'quintessential humpy'. So here it is: scroll down scroll down
