Quick take
A compact 4-inch fly tying scissors with serrated stainless steel blades for cutting dubbing and materials.
A 4-inch straight-blade scissor with gold finger loops and a serrated edge, sized for trimming flies from small to large. The 410 Japanese stainless blades work on natural materials and most synthetics, and the medium length packs easily into a travel tying kit. A good all-around cutter for a tyer at any experience level.
