I read somewhere that you mustn’t use scissors to cut Amsteel because it dulls the blades tremendously (which sounds logical) and cutting it with a knife was a huge pain. Figuratively and literally…
The solution that worked best for me was this rotary cutter from Olfa. It’s made in Japan and they have the sharpest blades I have ever seen. I have different models of theirs, but this rotary one is perfect for Amsteel (mine is 28mm diameter, but I think any size would work fine). Plus, I’ve used it quite a bit now and the blade is still sharp as can be. Hope this tip prevents some sore fingers out there 😉
