New Shape - Now featuring a new ergonomic shape, crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, protected with type II Anodize, and finished with a misted texture for ideal grip. Lends to a more natural feel and precise control in hand. Trim up those delicate 7x and heavier fluorocarbon tag ends with confidence.
New Spring - We have designed a torsion spring specifically made for our application. This 302 stainless steel spring features a compact single wrap design to exert rotary force. We know what you're thinking...What does this mean? It’s badass and drastically improved the life expectancy over previous models.
Cutters - Our tungsten carbide cutters have been and always will be the best on the market. We utilized decades of machining experience to create our custom cutting surfaces with an emphasis on abrasion resistance and reliable cuts through mono and fluorocarbon materials. The design has held up and proven itself since the original nippers were launched in 2016.
The Nipper 3 also features a needle post sized for cleaning eyelets from your even your smallest flies.
Every Hatch Nipper 3 comes with custom Hatch lanyard.
Purchased the ember nipper. Have used it in the Caribbean cutting heavy floro bite tippets and in NW Montana cutting fine 5x and 6x for small dries. Love the eye hole probe. Great nipper.

I bought the Hatch Nipper 3 in black directly from Hatch. Great looking product and quality lanyard, but the nippers have never been able to cut a 5x-7x tippet. How can you make a nipper that won't easily, and consistently cut light tippet material?

Really nice nippers here have taken it out many times already. Great spring and feel in the hand. Nice packaging, love the lanyard prefer this over my old zinger. Seems built to last a lifetime, def recommend. Thinking about getting some for gifts! Thanks for the great product.

I ordered 3 Nippers, 2 as gifts and I was so glad that they arrived in very nice gift boxes.
Thank you for creating what I hope are superior products made in the USA,
