Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I do the same thing as Tom,
have a number of scissors and use my best ones for the finest work. Like
Harry & Dave, I haven't found any out there that have all the qualities
I want, which is the reason for this post. Frank, especially for the
price, I'd be interested in trying these, but I can't stomach paying
$8.00 shipping for something that costs $3.00. Who makes them? Maybe I
can find them locally or somewhere with more reasonable shipping.

I ran dog grooming shops for over 20 years and I'm familiar with the
scissors available to groomers. They range from $20 "pieces of ****" to
$700 state of the art scissors. I'm not looking for $700 state of
the art scissors but the "best" fly tying scissors I've found are like
the $20 "pieces of ****". Good quality grooming scissors can be found
for $80 to $100. These are scissors made of good quality metal, well
ground and honed, well adjusted and adjustable etc. If you ever used a
pair, the quality is evident with one snip. Considering the size,
comparable quality tying scissors should be about $40 to $50. One
company that makes hair shears does make a smaller pair but the finger
holes are too small and the tips are too thick. Dave, the Dr Slick
Tungsten Carbide scissors are the best I've found but I think they're
still lacking in quality. Maybe I should take your suggestion and go to
the show in January. It's been 25 years since I've gone. It was always
too commercial for my taste, well it is a trade show after all.
