Fly Tying Tool Fishing Line Nippers Stainless Steel line Cutters Clippers

A line clipper (also called nipper or line nipper) is a compact cutting tool anglers use to trim tag ends after tying knots or to cut tippet and leader material. It gives a clean, close cut and replaces awkward alternatives like teeth or bulky pliers. Nippers come as simple snips or as multi-function tools with hook-eye cleaners, bead chains or retractors.

RTI’s stainless steel line clippers are small, standard mini size is 50 × 10 mm for compact carry. The clippers use stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long edge life. The tool includes a hanging hole for retail display or lanyard use and a secure locking mechanism for safe storage.

We offer blister packaging and OEM services, including custom color and logo engraving.

Advantages of Stainless Steel line Clippers

• Anti-Rust and Long-Term Use: Made of stainless steel, the clippers resist rust and remain durable even after long-term fishing use.
• Hanging Hole for Easy Access: Designed with a small hole so it can be attached to a key chain, lanyard, or tackle bag for quick access.
• Sharp Blade for Clean Cuts: The sharpened cutting edge trims fishing lines smoothly and reduces frayed ends when tying knots.
• Compact Size, Easy Storage: At only 50 × 10 mm, the mini clipper takes up little space and can be stored in pockets, tackle boxes, or retail blister packs.

Stainless Steel line Clipper Manufacturing Process

1. Design & tooling: Engineers finalize the mini nipper drawings and prepare jigs for consistent assembly.
2. Material sourcing: We buy grade-appropriate stainless steel and spring wire. Incoming materials undergo hardness and surface checks.
3. Cutting parts & CNC/stamping: Body and blade blanks are stamped or CNC-milled to tight tolerances to ensure consistent fit.
4. Blade heat treatment & grinding: Blades receive heat treatment, precision grinding and edge honing for durable sharpness.
5. Handle finishing: If a handle grip is required, the body undergoes PVC dipping or coating for improved grip and comfort.
6. Assembly & spring fitting: Blades, springs and locking latches are assembled on dedicated lines with fixtures to lock tolerances.
7. Surface finishing & anti-corrosion: Parts are polished, passivated or coated depending on the model. Special finishes for saltwater resistance are applied when requested.
8. Functional testing & QC: Each batch sees cutting-cycle tests, spring tension checks and salt-spray inspections. Traceable QC records are kept for bulk orders.
