I use a pair of kids scissors for braid and the cutters on my gander mountain fishing pliers. Nothing fancy...
coak reply :
I either use a pair of serrated scissors or a pair of clippers used for getting in grown toenails
ABW reply :
Serrated scissors. Or my Benchmade Griptilian if I don't have scissors on me
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
Leatherman Wave knife or Rapala scissors.
adam32 reply :
I use the mini craftsman wire cutters. They work great for braid to. When they get dull I can just exchange them for a new pair.

Boomerang tool. I always have it when needed, or I am always looking for where I stuck the scissors or clippers.

westscott titanium scissors
buzzed bait reply :
nothing comes close to the boomerang tool....
Tony L. reply :
For years, I used fingernail clippers. Then I really broke down and invested in a nice pair of titanium pliers with outside line cutters.
Jtrout reply :
A little pocket knife or a lighter
zoniezz reply :
Cutting torch
thehooligan reply :
Always have nail clippers in my bag.
My new favorite tool is the kvd split ring pliers. Cuts braid like a champ.
Alpha Male reply :
Rule #9 - Never go anywhere without a knife
Always a knife, whether is a benchmade, or a zero tolerance, or even a lowly gerber.
Longlivenyy reply :
I use EMS shears.
WIGuide reply :
I used the Mustang KVD braid cutter this past year and it did an alright job for fluoro and braid. It would be nicer if it was stainless so it didn't rust but for $7 it's not too bad. Used to use Rapala pliers with the carbon cutter which worked slick until a partner dropped them in the drink.

Got one for christmas. Things cut through braid like butter. 
SirSnookalot reply :
Have had quite a few braid cutting pliers, cutters always fail with just a little bit of age, No Mas.
At home I use Westcott scissors, in the filed a Walmart pliers for freshwater and a Harbor Freight (lifetime replacement) for saltwater, braid gets cut with a flame.

You've become bilingual down there Snook!
Do you use something to shield the mono of your leader from the flame?
Master Bait'r reply :
x3,719 for boomerang tool. Love that thing.
0119 reply :
I have 2 boomerangs but after the first day of use they fail to stay in the closed position and catch on my shirt since I wear them on a lanyard. I sprayed oil in one since it was used while wading. Oiling it caused it to never go into the closed position again. I use a William Joseph nipper made for fly fishing. Fly fishing tools seem more rugged and refined.
Senko lover reply :
teeth......
Just kidding, I use a small pair of scissors. I never can seem to find my knife when I need it, so I carry scissors in my backpack.
lmbfisherman reply :
For braid I found these small scissors at the dollar store. Works awesome, as for other line I'll use nail clippers or the scissors.
5fishlimit reply :
I got some scissors with some Sufix braid. They work well for me.
kcdinkerz reply :
Cabelas cheap braided scissors work great for me. They are small enough to fit in my shirt pocket and the tips are rounded
fisherrw reply :
Boomrang tool
powerduster reply :
I use a crimper for cutting heavy mono and wire line. Recently bought a kvd split ring plier that works well for lighter line.
Basswhippa reply :
Grey Spyderco Delica 4 Full Flat Grind, Japanese VG-10 steel. And of course a Leatherman Wave or Surge.

That's what I use too, plus it's nice that it has a set of split ring pliers built in. I also keep a pair of kids scissors on the boat, as well as some needle nose pliers with a wire cutter, in-case I have to cut a hook or something.
Bluebasser86 reply :
The cutters on my H2O 7.5" Forza aluminum pliers cuts any line, including braid, better than anything I've ever used.
