What all scissors do you guys use for making the cut in the top reed? Ive always used a small pair that knight and hale sold a while back in a call making kit. They have recently dulled and will no longer cut latex... :-\
Thanks for the help!
Ive used a few different kinds, but I settled on the small Fiskers you can get at Walmart. Super sharp, but watch out for the tips...they are also super sharp.

I have used an assortment and have found that most will cut the latex cleanly,...even some very inexpensive scissors. I do prefer sharp-tipped scissors that can be easily slipped between the latex layers. Rounded ones will work,...just a bit more difficult to work with. You certainly don't have to spend a lot of money on scissors that will do the job. There are many.
I personally carry some small, inexpensive scissors with me in the field so I can modify calls when hunting if the need arises. I will also, at times, carry enough call making materials with me to make a call or two in a pinch,..or if I am just bored and passing time.
I use Dr Slick scissors. They are extremely sharp and cut very well. I got mine at Bass Pro Shops in the fly fishing section.
Thanks for the help guys! I bought the fiskars at walmart and they are sharp. For me they are a little long for my liking so I have ordered some fly fishing scissors. We will see how they compare. Thanks for the help from everyone.

I use straight point cutical scissors found at a beauty supply. I'm not a fan of the curved point.
