Dr Slick – Black Widow Hair 4 1/2″ Razor Scissors
This wicked cool looking series revolves around the time savings and ergonomics of a bent shaft instrument. The loops on the super sharp razor scissors are raised and exposed, allowing the user to simply put their fingers into the loops without having to slide them across the bench to get them in hand or worse, dropping them on the floor!
For those who keep scissors in hand while tying, the bent shaft is more ergonomic than a straight shaft, and follows the contours of your hand. Less hand fatigue equals more flies leaving the vise.
The bent shaft on the versatile scissor clamps allows for a greater range of motion compared to a traditional straight shank or curved jaw clamp. Perfect for excavating flies from a fish’s pie hole.

These scissors are a game changer for fly tying. The bent shaft fits naturally in my hand and I no longer have to slide them around the workbench. The loops make it easy to grip and position them. I’ve used them for weeks and they’ve never lost their sharpness.

I was skeptical at first, but after trying them, I can’t go back to straight shaft scissors. The ergonomic design reduces hand strain during long sessions. The blade stays sharp and the loops are very easy to use when handling small parts.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced fly tiers. The 4.5-inch blade is just right for trimming and cutting fine hair. The bent shaft makes it easier to hold and maneuver, especially when working in tight spaces.
