Same here.. I put the fly in my vise, and use the single edged razor blade 
along the hook shank.. Going AWAY from yourself of course... If I use scissors, 
in case i run into lead or copper wire, or the hook shank itself, I use the 
back part of the scissors, not the tip, as that will basically ruin the 
scissors... and I have a LOT of experience at this, being a new tier and having 
a lot of bad flies LOL...Chuck
