Best Scissors ?

[Inchlaggan]

In all such things- how much time do you spend taking care (sharpening) such essential tools?
It was beaten into me aged 6 or less, by my great-grandfather who was a joiner-cabinet maker in Colinton Road, Edinburgh (Erskine & Brown).
A chisel or plane needed the "edge" replaced after 15 mins of work, and re-ground every week. His team worked a 5 1/2 day week, the half day, on Saturday, was entirely tidying up and tool sharpening. 45 years later I can still do a 10pt crosscut saw in under 15 mins.

Not at all 
I was just about to recommend scissors I got from ebay - a set of 3 different types for ?10 odd.
German seller, but didn't see them listed on a quick search.
Had mine since I started tying, and a wee run over a Japanese gritstone has them as sharp as Frankie Boyle in jig time.

I quick word on Stonefly products.............Don't.
I was the first in Scotland to buy their set, the ones coloured blue or so the lady from H & H told me & probably the first to send the hackle pliers back for replacement no not one but two times, both broke.
The rest were hastily confined to "bin" other than the dubbing needle which I still use & oh the scissors & dubbing rake I still have somewhere. The best part was the plastic box they came in. The scissors were actually quite sharp with fine points but I bloody could not get them of my fingers as they have rubber inserts in the grips which refuse to shake off & you have to use your other hand to pull off.
Not going to tell you what my good lady bought me for Xmas though, Andrew Moray knows.....   :makefun
