Stone Creek Outfitters 5.5″ Scissor/Forceps
The Stone Creek 5.1/2″ Scissor/Forceps combine the functionality of precision scissors with the control and versatility of locking forceps, creating one of the most useful all-around tools an angler can carry on the water.
The sharp scissor blades are ideal for cutting tippet, leaders, fly line, and trimming materials, while the locking forceps provide secure grip for hook removal, fly handling, barb crimping, and other streamside tasks. Large finger loops offer comfortable handling even with wet hands, and the striated jaws help maintain a dependable grip on small or slippery objects.
A locking closure helps keep the tool securely closed when not in use, making it easier to carry on a vest, pack, or lanyard without accidental opening.

Works well for most tasks. The scissors are sharp and the forceps grip securely. A bit heavy for small hands, but overall very useful. Would recommend to anglers who need a multi-purpose tool.
