What type? Micro tip, general purpose, curved, thinning? If by "smaller blades" you mean micro tip then I like these:

On the grounds that I've just ordered a pair and I hope they are good you could try a pair or Rubis.... see this thread

Rubis scissors

Cheers

Andy

I got a pair of Marryatt scissors from Phil (Spiderbus) at the fly tying boutique I'm only a novice but they are very good and great service / advice from Phil.

Dr Slicks are one of the best and you can get very close to the head of the fly,Thye are the only ones I use and have for years there is a small curve at the join of the scissor which you can use also for cutting chain bead.
Spring scissors are superb and I d be lost without them.
