Alan,
If these are the old "Thompson Ice" they were made by Anvil. The new ones are
not. I was told this by the Anvil people at the SLC show when I bought the
special pair of Anvil. My Old Thompson were good for 13 years cutting a lot of
deer hair. The new pair of Thompson's did not last anytime
I like the 'Fly of the Week' idea. I just have one thing to say. To
incorporate the pics in the mail apparently makes them larger (in bytes)
than the files themselves are to begin with. Take Don's stone as an
example... the size of the mail here says 2MB. (How big is the file Don?) I
have nothing t
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 Somm
Those were made by Anvil.
My old pair are serrated and I can't find anyone to sharpen them. I still use
them for cutting thread when wrapping rods, not really good for deer hair
anymore.

Hey, Nick
I didn't get your mail, only saw it posted here with the reply.

I may be wrong here, but since this is a googlegroup we should be able to put
pics and s-b-s in the group space and send a notification to the list,
shouldn't we?
OTOH I completely forgot how to sign in, though. Does anybody know how?

Hi Tony and friends,
I don't feel bad anymore when I look into my toolbox with all these
scissors.
Right now I'm tying for Iain's 2nd wet fly swap, have 6 scissors on the

fly I used the curved small one, for the second fly th

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 a

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:

I just knew someone was going to ask me that.
I tie every fly differently because I'm gettin old and can't remember
what fly I tied last.
I'll see what I can do. Would having the fly help?
