Built for anglers who demand clean, reliable cuts every time they rig, the Simms Guide Nipper is a premium fly fishing nipper engineered for day-in, day-out use on the water. Machined from tough 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a protective Type II anodizing, this nipper delivers guide-grade durability with the smooth feel and confidence you want when you’re trimming tippet in wind, rain, or low light.
At the business end, razor-sharp 17-4 H900 stainless steel jaws—hardened to Rockwell C 44—make short work of everything from light tippet to heavier monofilament and fluorocarbon leaders. The result is a crisp, controlled cut that helps protect knots, reduce frayed tag ends, and keep your rigging clean and efficient. Riveted jaws add long-term strength and alignment, ensuring consistent bite and cutting performance season after season.
Finished with laser-etched detailing for a clean, premium look, the Simms Guide Nipper is the kind of essential tool you’ll reach for all day—whether you’re building delicate dry-fly rigs, swapping streamers, or re-tying after a hard eat.
