Kopter Vs Embroidery Scissors for Fly Tying 

bought a pair @ this year BFFI

A good pair of scissors is a must, it makes for neater flies, I've got 2 main pairs of embroidery scissors and when one pair starts to get a wee bit blunt I swap over and hand them in to the knife/scissors shop to get sharpened, doesn't cost the world but my main scissors are always sharp. Nice content Lindsay !. ATB Chris.

Thanks for the feed back on the scissors Lindsey will check the site out cheers

The micro serrations combined with the curve of the blade work the same way as professional hairdresser’s scissors. As the blades close that is the only part that touches so the cutting forces are focused on that point. Some of my scissors cost several hundred pounds. While at a Newcastle wholesalers I was asked to check the quality of a pair of Japanese butterfly scissors the pair had been dropped onto their points from only about a foot. Landing on a glass counter. It warped one blade by a fraction of a single degree. Sixteen hundred pounds plus VAT had to be returned to Japan. Instant gills on a camel. Scrap

To be honest dude I think the old adages die hard. You get what you pay for.Thanks for uploading and sharing this info.

Thanks for the Info Lindsay

So you're telling us Kopter reached out to you to tell you to do a review with their scissors. And what you did is bought a pair of Kopter with your own money to do a review? Man I hope they at least offered to cover the cost of the pair you bought. Or sent you a whole set of their stuff as a thank you for doing this video!
