Built like a tank, engineered like jewellery. When Abel dropped their original nippers in 2007, the game changed. Dual opposing cutting surfaces, no flimsy anvil — just pure, precise cutting power from 8X tippet through to braid. Still the benchmark. The updated design keeps that razor-sharp cut but adds smarter ergonomics, a type III anodised body, and a magnetic “spring” system powered by rare earth magnets. No hinge, no corrosion, no sticking — just consistently smooth action. Those same magnets double as a handy fly dock while you rig up, which is as clever as it is useful. Features: 7075 aluminium body, Mil-Spec Type III anodised 6061 aluminium custom centre scales Replaceable 440C stainless jaws (heat-treated, 58 Rockwell, user sharpenable) Dual rare-earth magnets act as a corrosion-proof spring Magnetic fly dock for quick fly changes Replaceable stainless hook eye cleaner Designed and made in the USA A nipper you’ll keep forever — and pass on to someone who’ll fish just as hard.
