Been sorting my fly boxes for next season. It's amazing how many crap patterns I've accumulated over the years, so I've seperated all the keepers from the cack ones - including those experimental flies that I'll never fish and don't want in my boxes anymore. So now I need to strip back a load of flies in order to recycle the hooks. I've used a stanley blade before, which works ok, but it's still a chore. Anyone got a more efficient method?
Why not just flog them and buy some new hooks?

Stick them in the next fly swap :lol:

Cheap modal knife set from poundland/bargain store.
Wee Bri's kindly given me a scalpel to try! :D
I use one of wee bri's scalpels.... very sharp :shock: Do the job brilliantly mind you, thanks again Brian!
I'm a scalpel man myself. Hobby's UK are my supplier.
Lidl did a magic set of modelling knives for under a tenner, watch out for them.
I would Andy but you might decline it.... it's easier for me just to go ahead :lol: :lol:
Thanks for the kind words and the scalpel Brian! What you don't know is i've been tying with 8 and a 1/4 fingers... :makefun
