Don,
Not downgrading DR Slick but I had a problem with them These were the early
ones. The pivot point kept loosening up and the scissors would not cut. It was
a hassle so I just put them in the junk box. At the same show I had the Anvil
scissors ground for me, I talked to the Slick People at their booth. They said
they had corrected that problem and gave me a set of scissors. I am real
pleased with my Anvil scissors that I never did use the Slicks.. Maybe I should
get them out when I start tying again.

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.

Has anybody insight into scissormaker?
Are these instruments really
designed for tying, or are they
selling surgical instruments as ff
tools?
