    These scissors are sharp! I've had them for a few years now with heavy usage (I tie hundreds of flies a year) and they are still not showing any signs of dulling. They're used for everything tying and the only scissors I have on my desk. I've even dropped them a time or 2 with no signs of damage. At a tying show recently while doing a tying demo, I accidently dropped them. Using my quick reflexes, I caught them between my legs before they hit the ground. However, instead of a gentle catch, I impaled them into my calf instead... The blades easily pierced through my pants and sock and embedded themselves 1/4"+ into my calf with little effort causing a nice little puncture wound. Within seconds there was enough blood pooling to make the qweezy faint. Talk about embarrassing and thank goodness for superglue! Anyway, these scissors are extremely sharp! Some of the black paint on the handle of my pair is finally wearing through after a couple of years, but other than that, I have more than got my money's worth from these scissors and they're still going strong! When the time comes to replace them, I will definitely be buying another set of these. They're the best tying scissors I've ever used, hands down! Just have to let them fall next time I drop them...

    The jig tying thread I use is a non-braided type which is STRONG beyond belief. Great thread. Only problem is a standard stainless pair of trim scissors simply cannot cut the thread cleanly. I decided to try the Dr. Slick Tungsten Carbide scissors a try and presto, problem solved, cuts the thread cleanly. Great scissors for fly or jig tying.
