Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Large Green
Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Large Green is a professional finishing tool for creating half hitch knots when tying artificial flies, developed by Swedish manufacturer SMHAEN. It is the only half hitch tool in the world that combines a convenient knot finishing tool with an integrated and replaceable thread-cutting blade.
The tool provides a fast, simple, and reliable way to secure tying thread with half hitch knots and precisely cut the thread when finishing a fly. Thanks to its large ergonomic diameter, Smhaen Half Hitch Tool offers maximum control and comfort even during long tying sessions.
The Large Green model is designed for larger hooks and bulky fly patterns. It is ideal for streamers, large nymphs, salmon flies, and other constructions where thicker threads and larger amounts of material are used.
For safety and durability, the blade is fully integrated into the body of the tool. It can be extended only when needed by pressing the colored button located in the center of the handle. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically retracts the blade after use, protecting the cutting edge and extending its working life.
After extensive use, the blade can easily be replaced. SMHAEN offers replacement blades separately, making the Half Hitch Tool a practical and long-lasting solution for every serious fly tyer.
