I have started messing around with braid.  My scissors have a tough time cutting that stuff especially the tag ends after tying a knot.  Any recommendations on a pair of scissors?

I have split ring pliers with braid cutters that are handy. My favorite cutting tool at the time are those little extendable razor knives. For a dollar you can buy 3, I have them everywhere. They work well on braid.

Well I was in Wally World today and I bought the Rapala serrated edge ones, heck they were $2.96 so I figured if they didn't work I wasn't out much.  Got home and tied a couple of knots, had no problem cutting tag ends off.  We'll see how they stand up to the test of time, if they fail, lots of good suggestions on this thread.

Thanks for the replies!

Fiskars blunt nose scissors for kids. Wally World had them on sale a few months ago for 99 cents. I bought a few for my grandkids. I kept a pair at my fishing table to open packages and by chance picked them up to cut braid tags when I tied on some lures. They cut the braid like a hot knife thru butter. I now have a couple pair on the boat.
