  Shaun_B asked:

  Trying to find a set of pliers. I'm looking for a set of smooth jawed parallel pliers, with a 60 degree notch down the length of one jaw for pulling sail maker's needles. I've only seen antique sets thus far. Does anybody know of someone who is making them any more? Edit: Changed the angel from 30, to the correct 60 I meant.

  [Sargent](http://www.sargenttools.com/ToolsByTrade/industrial/Pliers/Flat_Nose/) makes smooth jaw parallel pliers. They are popular with Jewelers and they make a version for fishermen too. Not sure about a 30 degree notch, but some models have a longitudinal groove on the jaws. If you want something more substantial look for an old "Eifel Plierench".
