I use custom built tool made out of Pike teeth.

I'm either going with a razor sharp sickle or

straight to the Samurai sword.

Noticed the " 6 years later " but the artillery required to cut braid still applies ?

I really like these, they are affordable , last a long time and work great.

Oh man I remember this thread ?

I use a pair of children’s lady bug scissors our daughter used when she was little.

 

They work well.

Yup.  Darn blades won't hold an edge long because the metal is so soft, but it won't rust either.  So I have to resharpen it often (both the knife and the scissors).  But I don't mind.  

I keep that thing on my keychain and use it frequently throughout the day, not just for fishing.  Best of all, if I accidentally bring it with me to a security checkpoint, I can just toss it in the trash and buy a new one.  Its best qualities are that it's cheap enough not to get attached to and small enough not to be noticed.  

my Cudas are still rocking it.  my boat pair of Pitbulls are getting dull.

I have a pair of Mustad braid cutters that work anytime I need them 

I have three tools but this one cut them like butter.

Still using kiddie scissors, not so good for stabbing zombies though...

I just use the cheap rapala scissors from Walmart. Just pull the braid tight. 

Boomerang snips on the boat, a big pair of the Cuda scissors on the bench. Had the small Cudas before, after a year or so part of the blades wouldn’t cut braid, had to remember to use other parts.

Braid scissors. 

A sharp wit. 

A pair of $5 braid scissors attached to my belt loop.

If I could make braid scissors out of zebra mussels, I'd be a millionaire!  

In the meantime, I use hemocuts. You can find them in most fly shops. 

Lost mine....had to re-appropriate my wife's pair.  So very disappointed that these no longer exist.  Would love another...or two.

When I used braid I used the 

Boomerang Tool "The Snip"

 

This went dull on me pretty quickly. A small pair of stainless scissors has been a much better solution for me. I think the ones I use were designed for fingernails.
