Scissors

I've just started tying blood dots, nuke eggs, ect... I've tried three different pair of scissors and they all seem to be to dull to make a nice cut.  The most recent pair I have I got at Poor Richards about a week ago.  Already i'm begining to notice that thier to dull to cut the yarn.  It could be the fact that my vice is getting in the way and prohitbiting me from getting the scissors in far enough to make a nice cut.  Other than that I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to make this simple fly look perfect. 
 
If someone has some tips on this problem i'm having I would appreciate it.  Also if you guys know of a good pair of scissors for cutting glo-bug yarn please let me know.
 
Thanks

Go to Wall Mart in the craft dept. You can get striate, or curved at a very decent price with good quality. Fly tying shears are excellent for feathers and thread but synthetics will dull the quickly by actually bending the two sides out. BTW get a set of toe nail cutters for cutting lead and wire. Save you shear's for the close feather work.

The last pair I got for egg patterns are carbide . They have a plastic cover to protect the tips and thats all I use them for. Their not cheep but hopefully they will last forever. I found out you get what you pay for when it comes to scissors. I also have a fine stone and sharpen my cheaper ones for regular fly tying.

The fiskars brand of scissors has served me well - short blades and oversized grips. Usually there is a coupon in sundays paper from the craft stores to get 40 to 50% off any one. I think regular price is about $14-16.
