Re: FW: [VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
Well, I guess you people were the ones that ground the pair for me back at the SLC show. I am real pleased with them, very sharp point. You also told me that the old Thompson scissors I showed you were made by Anvil. I tied for Gudebrod at three of the SLC shows.

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 about a dozen hackle pliers but use only one.

[VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
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.

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.

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 at all. The Old Thompson's have red
finger holes, the Anvil have blue finger holes.

I have two pair of Thimpson Ice.
Two of the little skinney Gingher's that you
squeeeze together to put back into the 1/2" by 5" plastic
case.
I also have a pair of Fiskars that you
slip your ring finger into a loop and just hold them in the palm
of your hand.
I use the Thompson Ice the most.

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.

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 at all. The Old
Thompson's have red finger holes, the Anvil have blue finger holes.

I have two pair of Thimpson Ice.
Two of the little skinney Gingher's that you squeeeze together to put
back into the 1/2" by 5" plastic case.
I also have a pair of Fiskars that you slip your ring finger into a
loop and just hold them in the palm of your hand.
I use the Thompson Ice the most.

[VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
Got 6 scissors or so. I bought my favorite pair 10 years ago from a fellow tier at a show in Germany, and it is still going strong. The other one I use most of the time is a tung.carbide scissors. Also have one pair of surgical scissors I swapped with a surgeon for a dozen of sea trout flies. Very nice for delicate work. I want my scissors to be sharp and stay sharp, and I want to be able to keep them in my hand (or on my middle finger) when I tie. I have noticed that I have become so used to tying this way with both my fav scissors that I'm all thumbs when I use different scissors.

They're made in by the Vogel brothers in their machine shop in Columbus, Indiana. They are both fly fishers and fly tyers (although they have been so busy making scissors and vises that they have little time to enjoy their sport). They also make scissors designed specifically for special fields, including hair dressers and dog groomers. I believe Slick scissors were originally designed for surgeons, but I'm not sure. I think that's why they were originally called "Dr. Slick". a. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN afi...@sbcglobal.net --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

[VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
I have used surgical scissors. I also have an expensive German pair that the seamstresses use. But my favorite one costs $1 at the swap meet here (like a flea market) They are the squeeze type. They are quite sharp with nice pointed tips. And when they go - well they served their purpose.

[VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
Dr. Slick and Anvil have really good scissors for fly-tying. They make them for different uses, and I've found that they are actually focused like that. I have a synthetics scissors for foam and plastics. Doesn't work well for hair at all. I have 'big-finger' scissors and spring-loaded scissors (hold in palm kind) and my long-jawed German steel scissors that I serrate myself for big hair flies and my teensy-tiny scissors for midges and my junk scissors for cardboard and some thin leathers and a office scissors for thick leathers and a hair scissors that doubles as a moustache trimmer and memory fails me after that DonO - Original Message - From: "Rene Zillmann" To: Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:57 AM Subject: [VFB] ffisher tyer or collector? > > How many scissors do you have and where do you get them? > I myself own appr 15 scissors so far.

[VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector?
I own a few pair, but I could easily use a razor instead. Generally, I use the edge to cut thread rather than snipping. About the only time I use the scissors as a scissors is when I'm cutting hair or fur off a skin. I use a razor blade when I'm shaping packed hair or foam. As to being designed for tying, as long as they're sharp & fit your hand comfortably, does it really matter?
