Negnon Ceramic Nipper

Negnon Ceramic Nipper is a compact leader nipper made for trimming tippet while fly fishing. It provides a quick way to remove tag ends after tying on a fly, changing a leader section or completing a knot. Its small format makes it easy to keep close at hand in a fishing vest, tackle bag or alongside the other tools carried on the water.

The ceramic cutting section allows line to be trimmed neatly without reaching for a larger pair of scissors. A built-in hook sharpener adds a second practical function, helping to restore a point dulled by contact with stones or other hard obstacles. A few light strokes in one direction can improve the point before the fly is returned to use, reducing the need to replace a serviceable pattern simply because its hook needs attention.

For a controlled cut, place the tippet between the edges and press the nipper straight rather than twisting it against the line. Remove short line offcuts after use, rinse the tool following contact with dirty or salt water, and dry it thoroughly before storage. Use the hook sharpener with moderate pressure and check the point regularly to avoid removing more metal than necessary.
