I found pair of Abel nippers on a fishing trip several years ago. I would never have spent the money they cost but now that I own them, yeah I would spend the money for them. they are worth it.
I do think that a lot of people balk at the price tag without giving things a chance. Some might still turn nice nippers down, but others will be willing to spend the money.
I have tried over a dozen kinds of nippers over the years. All have disappointed me in some way. None have worked any better than the nail clippers I used as a kid. Of course I'd be laughed off the water with those now. And I won't spend $100 on nippers. No way. But they probably are the best performers.
6$ Amazon nippers w nail knot tool, file, rubber grip, hook eye cleaning tool, and sharp nips that could cut glass. Happy so far… let ya know after I use em…. Not really though….
You make a great point about sharpening. As a culture, we've lost an appreciation for sharpening everything from knives to nippers. It makes a huge difference!
Something like that is a must for bass and pike fishing. We use a lot of heavy mono, fluoro and wire. Your little trout nippers just aren’t going to cut it. Pun not intended.

Still using a child nail clippers. Been using the same ones now for about 30 years with absolutely no issues.
Pocket knife works good to
Child nail clippers do have that nice, bulky handle. That is preferable to the tiny ones most people like!
How come you didn’t talk about using your teeth? I like to coat my tippet in chocolate. It makes it so much more enjoyable for me when cutting.

Plenty of guys still use nail clippers. There's no shame in them at all!

Orvis nipper are the best. Also have Umpqua which are carbon steel and you can ReSharpen

@@castingacross thanks for the reply. I still really like the orvis but carry about 3 pair every outing
My hemostat has a pair of scissors built in. Why carry a nipper at all?
It sounds like you found a good do-it-all option.
I perfer DR Slick scissor forcepts.
Great point: nippers are only one way to nip stuff!
