Built for modern tippet materials, the Dr. Slick Cyclone Nippers combine ultra-hard tungsten carbide cutting blades with a lightweight anodized aluminum frame for clean, dependable cuts on the water. Their compact 2.25-inch design handles everything from standard monofilament and fluorocarbon to braid and coated wire up to 20 lb.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Cyclone Nippers are light enough for all-day carry while providing the durability anglers expect from an essential fly fishing tool. Integrated extras like a hook eye cleaner, knot detangler, and hook file make them a versatile addition to any vest, sling pack, or fishing pack.
The Dr. Slick Cyclone Nippers deliver the sharp cutting performance needed for today’s tougher fly fishing tippet materials without adding unnecessary weight. The tungsten carbide blades, integrated hook tools, replaceable cutters, and choice of straight or offset cutting faces make them a versatile option for both freshwater and saltwater anglers.
The Cyclone Nippers use extremely hard tungsten carbide blades rated at Rockwell 70+, helping maintain a sharp cutting edge across a wide range of leader and tippet materials.
Straight - The straight cutting face provides a traditional nipper profile for everyday fly fishing use and precise tippet trimming.
Offset - The offset model features an angled cutting face that can make it easier to reach tight knots and trim tag ends close to the fly.
More than a simple tippet cutter, the Cyclone Nippers include several integrated tools for quick streamside adjustments.
Replacement cutters, screws, and a hex key are included, allowing worn cutting components to be serviced instead of replacing the entire nipper.
