Anybody else use these? I spent the $18 and bought a pair a few weeks ago at the sewing store on the recomendation of the nice lady there and I must say they were worth it! They nip so close and clean I no longer need a razor. Much better than any others I've tried. Just wondered as have not herd them mentioned.

Thanks for the suggestion Bob. I Have been using Flush Cut Wire Cutters and they are a lot more expensive than $18

I use Cuticle nippers (ala Bill Stevens) They get totally Flush, have a lifetime guarentee and free lifetime sharpening. Best thing that I've ever seen. About $20

I use my ghinger's for both rodbuilding and fly tying,., greatest things ever made! To make them even better, specially for tying scissors, use some crazy glue gel and glue loop of ithick wire to them to make a finger loop.
