Hareline Griffin CHS Arrow Point Scissors

What it is

Hareline Griffin CHS Arrow Point Scissors are fly-tying scissors made from stainless steel with corrosion-resistant, durable construction. They have razor-sharp, fine-point, arrow point tips that let you get into tight spots on the hook without pushing materials out of place. The ergonomic grip keeps them controllable when you’re making small cuts over and over at the vise.

What to tie with it

Use them for trimming and shaping materials as you build the fly, especially when you need intricate detail cuts around the head, wing butts, or tight bodies. The fine points handle feathers, fur, and synthetics cleanly, and they’re also suited to snipping wire when you’re trimming ribbing or tying in weight.

Flies and the fish they're for

These are a “most trout” bench tool because so many trout patterns require tight, precise trimming of hackle stems, small feather tips, dubbed bodies, and wing materials right at the hook eye. They’re just as useful when you’re cleaning up small streamer heads and collars for fish like smallmouth and striped bass, where synthetics and wire show up often. Since there aren’t specific example patterns listed for this tool, think of it as the scissors you keep in hand for the detail work on almost any fly you tie.
