Braid cutters or do as I do and raid your wife's scrapbooking room. I have 2 pair that have Joanne's Fabrics stenciled on the blade that I "borrowed" from her and they are better at cutting braid than Berkley Braid Cutters.

OR ... you can go to Wally World & buy a pair of Childs Size Fiskar Scissors (~$2) !!

I use PowerPro 10/2 braid on one of my outfits, and the Fiskar scissors cut it clean & blunt. Blunt cuts are necessary for trying to poke that limp braid thru the tiny line eye of a Crappie jig !! Any fraying of the tag end & it's a serious hassle !!

One other thing one needs, when using braided line ... is a short dowel rod. When you get hung up & absolutely HAVE to break off ... using your hand might cost you a finger !! At the very least you're subject to getting a serious cut. Just wrap the line around the dowel & pull ... saves your hand, fingers, or even the cork/foam handle of your rod (if you're one that wraps braid around it, to pull your bait free or break the line).
