PLEASE / THANK YOU

Do those things cut through braid?  If not, and I guess even if so, what do you guys use to cut through braid? I used to use the floating pliers which did really well at cutting the braid but weren't much good at anything else.

Now I have some needle nose pliers with a cutter but they don't cut through the braid very well.

I use these http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0042686019421a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=scissors&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=scissors&noImage=0

never tried it but I'm pretty sure it does

check this out, titanium (NON RUSTING) scissors. you might want to grind the pointy tips down a bit, but there you go for your braid cutting.

btw, I have been using that titanium dive knife that mooch posted about a while back. it cuts braid. I really like that thing for on the kayak use. not sure how titanium sharpens tho...

You taking up Quilting J 

Thanks I'll check those out little cheaper at Jo Ann's right around the block from me. looks like they are SS with a bonded T finnish.

I have a pair of those rapala scissors, they work fine. Or else I just use a sharp knife, but you have to hold the line tight.

Scored your pliers Joel I'll bring to Elk unless we hook up sooner.
