Owner braid scissors or those scissors Gerry used to recommend from Amazon by Cuda that are also mentioned in a post below. Both brilliant.

A tip from me. I have used a lot of braid scissors, Korda, fox etc. and have managed to blunt them all.

The braid type is the key, i use Armacord a lot and that destroys them quickly, cut tough braid right in the jaws of the scissors and normal braid up the blade if that makes sense, prolongs the life a bit

If they cut kevlar fibre cable all day long you must be doing something very wrong to blunt them on fishing braid.


Not fishing companies because they want to forever sell you scissors but I'm surprised no one has come up with a way to resharpen scissors

Not fishing but I used to use Lindstrom 8160 cutters at £28 a pop. They were given a sharpen with an ordinary file many times before binning.

Agree with this . . .and never cut anything else (mono / fluro / coateds etc) with dedicated braid scissors
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
