The FT4 is built specifically for it. The tips are flat and wide at 10mm, which gives you a broad gripping surface across the stem rather than a single pinch point, so you can strip a full side of a genetic cape feather in one clean pull instead of picking at it fibre by fibre.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt makes a real difference on quill body flies, parachute posts and any pattern where you want a tidy bare stem before you start wrapping. It also handles the softer stuff well, so hen, duck, CDC and Hungarian partridge all strip cleanly without tearing the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 100mm the FT4 is comfortable in the hand for long sessions, and the arms are shaped so they sit naturally between thumb and finger without needing a hard squeeze. Every pair is hand sharpened and adjusted, which is why the tips actually meet flush instead of crossing over like most cheap tweezers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStripping one side of genetic rooster hackle for quill bodies and clean wraps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing parachute posts and bare stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling soft fibre feathers like hen, duck, partridge and CDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicking up and placing small amounts of dubbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral fine detail handling on the bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip width: 10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip type: flat, simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Renomed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRenomed tools are handmade in a historic granary in western Poland by a family business with 30 years of craft behind them. Every piece starts as high grade stainless steel formed by precision bending rather than forging, a lower impact process that gives the tools their distinctive shape and strength. From there each one is hardened, hand ground, sharpened and precisely adjusted. It is the sort of detail you notice the first time you use one. The design has won several international awards and Renomed tools now sell in 15 countries, but the real test is longevity. Look after them and they will hold their shape and their edge for years on the tying bench, not months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a single job tool that does that job better than anything else, and it costs less than a decent cape. If you tie quill body duns, parachutes, or anything where a clean bare stem matters, the FT4 will save you a lot of fiddling and a lot of wasted feathers. The wide flat tips also make it one of the better tweezers on the bench for dubbing and small material handling, so it earns its keep between hackle jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renomed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122860138721,"sku":"SRENOMEDFT410384S","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/5793\/1958\/files\/FT4.webp?v=1789437130","url":"https:\/\/theflyfisher.com.au\/products\/renomed-ft4-hackle-stripping-tweezer","provider":"The Flyfisher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
