Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Midge Blue
Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Midge Blue is an innovative and high-quality 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 functional integrated and replaceable cutting blade in one compact design.
The tool provides a fast and easy way to secure the 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 excellent thread control for both beginners and professional fly tyers.
Special attention has been given to safety and durability. The blade is fully integrated into the body of the tool and can be activated by pressing the colored button located in the middle of the handle. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically retracts the blade after use, protecting the cutting edge and extending its working life.
When the blade becomes worn after extensive use, it can easily be replaced. SMHAEN offers replacement blades separately, making this tool a practical and long-term solution for every fly tying bench.
The Midge Blue version is specifically designed for small hooks and delicate fly patterns. It is ideal for tying midges, small nymphs, emergers, and other technical flies where precision is essential.
