Quick take
Multi-function stainless steel knot tool for tying nails and trimming excess fly line around the water.
This four-in-one knot tool pairs a stainless steel body with a dipped handle that stays grippy in wet hands or gloves. It combines a knot tyer, line clipper, hook-eye cleaner and hook sharpener, with a D-ring for attaching it to a lanyard. It comes with a 39-inch adjustable break-away neck lanyard that can carry several spools of tippet, which suits fly anglers who retie often on the water. The clipper is meant for monofilament, not braid.

- Quick tippet knot tying on the stream
- Sharpening hooks between uses

Skip if

Strengths
