Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Regular Red
Smhaen Half Hitch Tool Regular Red is a professional finishing tool for creating half hitch knots when tying artificial flies, developed by Swedish manufacturer SMHAEN. This unique tool combines a convenient half hitch tool with an integrated and replaceable blade for quick and precise thread cutting.
With the Smhaen Half Hitch Tool, fly tyers can easily create clean and reliable half hitch knots when finishing a fly and immediately cut the excess thread. The large ergonomic handle diameter provides excellent control and comfort, making it suitable for both beginners and professional fly tyers.
The Regular Red model is the universal version of the Half Hitch Tool series and is designed for the most commonly used hook sizes. It is suitable for a wide range of artificial flies – from dry flies and nymphs to wet flies and smaller streamers.
For maximum safety, the blade is hidden inside the body of the tool and is activated by 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 service life.
After extended use, the blade can easily be replaced. Available replacement blades make the Smhaen Half Hitch Tool a durable and practical solution for every professional fly tying bench.
