I like both my Anvils and my Dr. Slicks. If I had to choose....good thing I don't. ;o)
I have a 1.25" x 10" lg. dia. ceramic pump plunger from a glycol pump, and it works great with a little oil as a sharpener. When I get to the serrated scissors, that's a little tricky. I sharpen them up and then use the roughest Lanski stone to make one hard pass to roughen the edge, so it's almost as good as a factory serrated scissors. Wow, Salt Lake City...that was like a decade ago, wasn't it? I was tying for Dr. Tom Whiting at his booth. Whenecer I see Anvil or Dyna-King at their booths, I lend them a Fantasy Fly of some sort- usually a Flexo-fish or a mouse, for a draw fly. Hardest part is getting it back.

My choice is Anvil Hands down. I have about 20 pair and use the Anvil 99% of the time. They ground a special pair for me at one of the Dealers shows in SLC some years ago. Come to think of it, that was the year I met Don O and Jerry Goldsmith at that show. Tony Has anybody insight into scissormaker? Are these instruments really designed for tying, or are they selling surgical instruments as ff tools?
