Yeah, scissors, needle nose pliers, stole one of my enamel kettles that I USED to use for canning so she could dye reed, etc., etc., etc.
@ least she isn't like the most recent ex. (in SO many ways) Hasn't used my razor to shave her legs.

Last year she had used my "Ice Anvils" to cut gunny sacks and guess what - yep - can't cut thread now!. Gotta love 'em!

Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:41:22 -0500 I just checked & the pair I usually use are Dr. Slicks. The only problem I ever had was when they got knocked onto a concrete floor & I had to regrind the tips. I had a pair of Anvils, but I couldn't find them. I'm guessing the wacky Italian broad has them w/ her basket weaving tools.

Don, Not downgrading DR Slick but I had a problem with them These were the early ones. The pivot point kept loosening up and the scissors would not cut. It was a hassle so I just put them in the junk box. At the same show I had the Anvil scissors ground for me, I talked to the Slick People at their booth. They said they had corrected that problem and gave me a set of scissors. I am real pleased with my Anvil scissors that I never did use the Slicks.. Maybe I should get them out when I start tying again. Tony --- On Thu, 8/20/09, Don Ordes <f...@tribcsp.com> wrote: From: Don Ordes <f...@tribcsp.com> Subject: [VFB] Re: ffisher tyer or collector? To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, August 20, 2009, 4:14 PM I like both my Anvils and my Dr. Slicks. If I had to choose....good thing I don't. ;o) I have a 1.25" x 10" lg. dia. ceramic pump plunger from a glycol pump, and it works great with a little oil as a sharpener. When I get to the serrated scissors, that's a little tricky. I sharpen them up and then use the roughest Lanski stone to make one hard pass to roughen the edge, so it's almost as good as a factory serrated scissors. Wow, Salt Lake City...that was like a decade ago, wasn't it? I was tying for Dr. Tom Whiting at his booth. Whenecer I see Anvil or Dyna-King at their booths, I lend them a Fantasy Fly of some sort- usually a Flexo-fish or a mouse, for a draw fly. Hardest part is getting it back.

My choice is Anvil Hands down. I have about 20 pair and use the Anvil 99% of the time. They ground a special pair for me at one of the Dealers shows in SLC some years ago. Come to think of it, that was the year I met Don O and Jerry Goldsmith at that show. Tony Has anybody insight into scissormaker? Are these instruments really designed for tying, or are they selling surgical instruments as ff tools? Rene No virus found in this incoming message.
