These are high tech Fly Fishing pliers made of 7075 aircraft aluminum. Its larger brother was made for Space use while these have been described as "The finest fishing pliers in the world" by pleased owners. Removable without tools they have D2 steel jaws. The pliers can be converted into Radio/TV stripper, crimper or simple wire cutters by just changing the jaws to order. As Fly Fishing pliers they are available for $149.00 each. A matching scabbard $49.95. From center of the hinge to the nose tip measures 2 1/4" and to the handle 4 1/2". The salt water model (not in production yet) has a nose of 4 1/2" and a 5 1/2" grip. The jaws on it are replaceable too with a semi fixed retaining post for heavy fish rather than the detent on the smaller Fly Fishing model. I might add however, all sold to date are reported being used in salt water. Be one of the few to own the best today!
