Orvis Flow Nipper Black Review

According to my experience, this tool is a must-have for any angler .The smooth action and precision of THESE nippers make it incredibly easy to cut any kind of line while preserving its strength. It is built to last and the compact size makes it easy to carry in your pocket or on your fly vest. However, the price point may be a bit steep for those who are just starting out in the sport..

I love just about everything Orvis makes but they missed the mark with this one. Given the cost, I expect it to cut as well as any Umpqua cutter, but not as well as my Abel cutter. Not true. Basic Umpqua clippers are better. These wire cutters from Orvis clamp the cord, don't cut it. They are also heavier than anything out there. there. It doesn't matter, but the ounces are starting to add up.
