Tip
Tip: Keep a second, larger pair of scissors for heavy material, and fine points for detail
How to do it: Use large scissors for heavy material and fine-point scissors for detail work
Mistake it fixes: Using one pair of scissors for all materials
Why it works: Heavy material dulls fine scissors, while fine work needs precision. Separate scissors preserve both.
When it matters most: Fly tying, tools
