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,
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.
Thank you,

got bout 25 pair.....half dozen of those are total crap.......but i
keep 'em round for cutting wire, etc.
i've got from junk to the BEST..........like those you see Mike
Radencich using in his video.......don't really like those that much.....
my favorite are good ole' Doc Slick.....specially the VERY FINEST
NEEDDLE POINT type........can't
get along without those.........they've saved my ass countless
times when it comes to my trademark tiny heads..... unfortunately, i have to
get a new pair fairly often.....because the tips are so fine they are very
easily damaged.
but once a year or two aint so bad...........no
biggie.............fly tying's not for tightwads anyway...........you wanna be
a tightwad,
buy your flies..........
