Dr. Slick Scissors

DR.SLICK scissors are the choice of fly tyers worldwide. Whether you’re new to fly tying or a hardened production tyer, DR.SLICK scissors will maximize your fly tying enjoyment, production and quality.  Each scissor is inspected, adjusted and tested before leaving the Dr. Slick shop, assuring you a tool that won't fail on the bench.

For maximum performance and longer scissor life, two main rules apply when choosing scissors for tying. First, match the scissor to the types of materials you tie with most often. Most scissors in the DR.SLICK line can handle both natural and synthetic materials with ease, but if you tie predominantly with synthetic materials, consider the new generation of scissors like Tungsten Carbide, Razor and Prism that are designed to handle these materials. Second, match the scissor to the size and type of flies you tie. If you tie small flies without much mass or material, use small finer blade scissors like Arrow, MicoTip and Iris. Conversely, if you tie larger flies, with more mass and material, consider larger scissors with heavier blades like All Purpose, Hair or Razor. Great scissors make great flies!

METAL

All scissors are made from 410 Japanese stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 45, except the Razor scissors which are made from 440 J2 stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 55.

4" All Purpose Scissors: These are great quality Dr. Slick scissors at a very affordable price. They come with a fine serrated edge and Dr. Slick's signature sharpness on the blades.

3.5" Arrow Scissors: Short fine-bladed scissor designed for small flies and detail work. The notch at the base of the blades is designed for cutting wire and lead. Excellent for natural materials and can handle most synthetics. Great scissor for in-hand tying.

4.5" Hair Scissors: Long heavy blades are designed for large flies and tough materials. If you work with hair or other heavy materials, this is a true workhorse. Excellent for natural materials and can handle most synthetics.

4" Tungsten Carbide Scissors: Dr. Slick Tungsten Carbide All Purpose Scissors are some of the toughest yet fine cutting tools out there. The blade is sharp but yet withstands a lot of cutting while maintaining it's edge. Tungsten Carbide is 7x harder than stainless steel, thus giving it the durability to keep the edge sharp.
