I have a bunch of Frank Matarelli's tools. Two whip finishers, I think 4 bobbins, two long tubes and two short tubes and 3 bobbins that were designed for sew machine bobbins.. All the bobbins have FM inscribed on the foot of each bobbin.
Yes, Frank did put a thread cutter on the end of the whip finisher, but the ones I have are now dull.
I think it was at the ISE San Mateo Fly fishing show where Frank passed a few out to some of the tiers. These are in my collection of items that I received from a lot of notable tiers and famous people who are and were in the industry.
