Started off with a cheap pair of NGT braid scissors which didn't seem to bad at first but these are fraying the ends of my soft braid now when I cut it. (PVA bag rigs)

Any recommendations for a decent pair of cutters/scissors?

I second this, best braid scissors I've ever had. One remark though, the blades are serrated, so on fluo/mono you won't get a clean cut (e.g. for crimping).

These absolutely. I trued to cut a rig off recently and accidently snipped right though the swivel. Just cut it clean like it was nothing.

I've never used braid scissors, always used one of those craft stanley type knives with the retractable/snap off blades, cheap as chips to buy replacement blades and always razor sharp as a result. I also find it easier to see what I'm doing using them.

I bought the small thinking anglers braid cutters and to be fair they are really handy especially with the stripping tool on them

Those Cuda £4 scissors are now £18 😂 what are some other recommendations for decent ones? Fishing branded or not but must be small

Preston rig scissors are good.

Personally for Carp I've only ever used the small 9mm Stanley knives with break off blades. This ones in my bucket lid
