I am currently using a generic genitalia pair of scissors for preparing nematocera (snipping of wings, end of abdomen etc) something like this: www.vermandel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/16.888-Micro-schaar-recht-model-open.jpg

However it doesn't seem sharp/precise enough. Any suggestions for better scissors for preparing small nematocera ?

Thanks, Joris

For those interested: I bought some second hand surgical scissors of the aesculap brand from ebay with which I am much happier.
