There's a gentleman on ebay that sells ceramic braid scissors for £11. A magnificent product imho, which cuts the inner braid on coated hooklinks clean on the first attempt, not to mention heavy leader type braided lines as well.

I use scissors that have a serrated and normal blade for braid.
Helps.

Owner Braid scissors without any question! Had my pair best part of 15 years & still as sharp as day I got them. I only cut SOFT braid with them as cutting nylon with them will blunted them. I use whatever I have in my box for cutting nylon & HARD coated braids suck as semi-stiff or stiff versions or snag leader type braids such as Quicksilver or ArmaKord as the Kevlar fibres in them will also blunted blades fast.

I use single edge razor blades/window scraper blades with a small plastic holder. I have tried normal double sided razor blades but these flex too much and you have to be careful not to cut yourself on the other side.
A bit fiddly to cut a small tag end so I tend to leave a long tag which makes it much easier.
You can pick them up cheap on eBay and replacement blades are cheap too.

Best blades I ever had were the pb ones , had ,fox,esp,Gardner and there all fine at cutting braid with the coating on , but **** at cutting uncoated braid imo ,
A small veg board and a sharp Stanley retractable type knife/ blade is perfect ,

Probably because I needed to remove the swivel for some reason and didn’t have anything else to cut it with

Why would you use braid scissors to cut swivels  Not computing to me that.
The Ridgemonkey scissors seem fine to me for braid, although I don't use alot of braided hooklinks atm (when able to fish)

I did the same with my first Fox braid blades. Cutting a swivel definitely ruins them, my fault entirely though
