This has to be the best braided line cutter ever! If you've used a braid and had to cut it, you know that carefully cutting such a thin line is a real headache. After trying everything I had on hand, 3 fly fishing scissors and 3 pliers, I ordered these as a last resort. I still don't know how it does it, but it cuts braids quickly and cleanly and will work with any other type of line as well. I have two now!
