A card of 3 tapestry needles from a drapery store. The different sizes make it easy to tie nail knots on various sizes of fly line...for example, the requirements to tie a needle knot on the tippet of a size 5 floater are different to those for the thick end of a size 9 shooting head.

I bought something like this (although a cheaper brand), clippers aren't great but the knot tool works well - unfortunately I can't remember where they were from

I use a nailless nail knot. I use it for backing to fly line and have done for some forty years
