I've learned that
using braid cutters to cut monofilament or fluorocarbon line reduces their
effectiveness at cleanly cutting braid.

Line Cutters
I love my Boomerang
Line Cutters. They stay sharp, they're compact, the blades lock in a closed
position, and unlike scissors, I can stow them handily in my pocket without
poking myself. By keeping them on my person, it doesn't matter where I'm
fishing; when needed, they're efficiently right there.
I buy them in
pairs, one with long blades, the Big Snip, and the other features short knives,
the Snip. I will only use the long snip for braid, and the short cutter is only
for mono and fluorocarbon lines. Using them this way ensures that both pairs
perform superbly for as long as possible.
