HELP NEEDED

[Viking Lars]

It almost hurts, but I have to retire these scissors now. I have literally tied thousands of flies with them. I wish I could remember how long they lasted, but Anvil scissors are incredibly durable. I know I’ve used these for over 8 years . Every where I found them, they are out of stock and for some reason, I can't even find Anvil's webpage.

Does anyone know where I can get a pair or three?

Thanks, Vince, but only Lakeland carries the offset pair and they’re out of stock.

Can't they be sharpened?

Seems that Anvil is out of business.

Do you know the model # ? Are they the 40A?
A curved version is available on eBay.

Thank you, George, but - AAAARGHH - this is a disaster...

My goodness Lars. I do hope you’re ok. If you can find them still in stock somewhere, then I’m sure we can use the Sexyloops network to get them to you. Might be a bit risky to stick them down trouser legs but where there’s a willy there’s a way.

Cheers, Paul

Hey Lars
Sorry, I can’t help with the anvil ones.
But if you can’t find them I recently replaced my scissors after grumbling about my old one for 12 months
I went with renomed- they do a fly tying range, surgical and cosmetic.
Really impressed with them, feel nice in the hand, a very slight resistance as you close to cut, which I find helps with fine, controlled work.

I purchased small straight fine tipped and medium curved

I’m OK - I’m in therapy to deal with the situation .

Thanks! I know the Renee scissors well and they are excellent, but for me, the clue is the offset rings. Maybe I should try contacting Renomed?
