Dr. Slick Nipper & Knot Tyer

Nippers are one of the most heavily used and critical tools for your vest or bag. Designed for snipping tippet tag ends, clipping off flies, cutting leader material, cleaning hook eyes, sharpening hooks, or tying nail knots, these nippers are the workhorses of the fishing world. All nippers are 2” and have super sharp blades, an industrial strength hook eye cleaning pin, and a built-in hook file. Knot-tying models have an easy-to-use nail knot tube attached.

All nippers are made from 420 J2 Japanese stainless steel.

Revolutionary design makes tying the nail knot a cinch.  Perfect for attaching backing or leader to your fly line.  Don't fear the knot!
