How do you guys cut your paracord?
Ive tried a few things,
Knives unless really sharp like to grab and pull strands, ruining your pretty strands.
Scissors, again need to be really sharp or you get real ragget ends that are hard to burn and once you do it ends up as a big goober...
The best thing Ive found is a razor blade on a block of really soft wood.
Lay the cord on the block and just press with the razor. makes a clean cut that is quick and easy to burn. It also allows you to make angled cuts.
I would like to try a quality cigar cutter too. In my mind it would be cool, but Ive never so much as handled one much less used one to cut cord? Anyone got input on this?
So what do you guys use??
