Description
The new precision machined aircraft grade aluminum leader nipper has replaceable jaws – similar to Abel’s award-winning pliers – made from a superior grade stainless steel. "These modern nippers are total departure from traditional line cutters which are usually just an adaptation of old fashioned nail clippers . . . just the kind of creative, Twenty First Century thinking anglers expect from Abel,” said Don R. Swanson, president. Tests were done on line weights from 7X fly-fishing tippet material to 100-pound test mono. Shop tests indicate the nippers are good for thousands of cuts of monofilament line and tippet material. Should blades ever need replacing, they will be done at the Abel factory by paying shipping and handling only for the first three years. After three years, a minimal charge of $10 will be added to the handling fee. The Abel Nipper is 1-3/4 inches long, 3/4-inch wide and tapering to 1/2-inch wide at the jaws. It weighs seven-tenths (0.7) of an ounce. A needle used to clean hook eyes is integrated into the jaws. "The critical cutting edge jaw is Crucible CPM S35VN, an American-made and developed premium grade stainless steel created especially for knives. It is powder-made steel with a uniform carbide distribution and clean steel properties. The steel is heat treated and hardened to a Rockwell factor of 58-60. As a blade material, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and superb edge qualities,” said Swanson. The Abel Nippers are designed to be attached to a retractable spring-loaded device, clipped to a fishing vest or worn with an angler’s necklace.
