I have owner scissors and also the blue ones in Gerry’s link but generally I tend to use a scalpel blade 👍

I can’t remember how much they cost but the Gardner scissors are by far the best and sharpest I have ever used. Highly recommended

I bought a pair of scissors in the mid 80's and they still cut braid cleanly to this day, best pair of scissors I have ever had and I'm not sure what make they are, ESP springs to mind. Only small with very pointed blades and a red plastic handle.
They are even better than these blue handled "Cuda" ones".

Bought a PB Products Cutter Pliers, simply great

Tbh most are not blunt. The rivet pin works lose. A hammer on the pin on a solid surface works it out. I had some korda ones for five years. 3 times I got the hammer out and perfect.

Ali express. I have bought a few pairs now. They are the same as the nash ones but without the nash logo and tax.
They are small so fit my box nicely

98% is cutting through coated braid so if there's one better suited to that, I'm all ears 👍👍

. . . the secret is - you need 2-3 pairs (irrespective of brand) One to cut mono / fluro, one to cut coated braid and the most important, one to cut braid - no matter what happens; if its dedicated to braid only it will continue to work. Little Korda ones are good for braid / cheapy tackle shop blue handles jobbies are fine for everything else!

Definitely go for them little blue handled ones Gerry recommended. I have several pairs of them in various different fishing bags. Very good scissors.

I’ve been using the Solar ones now for the past year or so. Can honestly say they are the best I’ve used by a mile.

Bumping this, where do I go for decent rig scissors.
Both my TA ones and ESP are naff, so want to get some new ones that actually work first time.
Which ones should I buy?

Agree with OG below,
The blue handled Cuda Titanium Bonded Scissors from Amazon are pretty good for braids and Mono’s, cheap as chips and do the job.
Spot on

Get the Cuda Titanium Bonded Scissors from Amazon, £3.60 a bargain. Not suitable for cutting back vegetation though as I found out recently!!!

Hi guys,
I’m after a new pair of small scissors for making up rigs, cutting braid etc. I’m not interested in Carpy brands unless they’re really good - I recollect seeing on here ages ago somebody recommending some from Amazon or eBay but can’t find the thread.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you
