I have been using it for the last 5 or 6 years.  Academy has some sissors that do a fair job.  For a while I kept a sharp knife on board but I bought a Power Zap at Bass Pro which I now use instead of the sissors or knife.  It also allows me to mend and or modify plastics.

I have been using kid's Fiskars scissors.  They work great.  They're small and have a bright colored handle that makes them easy to find in my tackle box.

i have an expensive pair of craft scissors that i stole from my wife. they are amazing. i believe the name is called ARS. not sure but i will check when i get home. they cut through power pro very cleanly and never frays. the crayola ones work good, but the get dull very quickly.

Fiskars are the ones.  Not kindergarten scissors.

I have a set of Abel fishing pliers that I use to cut braid, remove hooks and such.  They slice through braid like a warm knife through butter.

I got a set of xtools braid pliers for fathers day and they work great.  they are made of plastic and they float.

Finger nail clippers.  Compact and cheap ($1.99).  After the initial pinch, pull along the blades instead of away.

They are cheap enough I have one in each of my 3700 boxes.

$2.99 at BPS.  For the price you can't beat em.  The serrated edges hold the line in place while your cutting.

Bandage cutting scissors you buy in a drug-store.  About 5 bucks.

There are many cutters sold for braid. I'm another one who uses Fiskar's kids' scissors, which are the same as Culprit's Braid Blades. If you catch Fiskar's on sale you can get them for $1, otherwise you might have to pay $2.
