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".

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!

Sign of the times that, but I'd still get them at £10 a pair.
