SCISSORS WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
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.
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, MicroTip 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!
