Really your pliers don't cut braid? I have had the same ones for like 4 years. They are all rusted now and still cut right through anything. They are not even carbide and still work like a champ.

You don't fish in saltwater.

I'm not about to pop for a pair of Van Staals when I cut braid just as easy with a bic for free.

Where do you get your bic lighters for free?

Cgrinder, I like you found the Leatherman Micra to be ideal for cutting braid. I carried one for years in my shirt pocket while plying the night surf for stripers. I now simply use a cheap pair of small Fiskar scissors which also work very well for bank fishing for LMB.
