The Dive Rite Line Cutter will easily cut through braided line, monofilament, or most other fishing line. The Dive Rite Line Cutter is sharper than a standard dive knife and uses a 420 surgical grade stainless steel blade that can easily cut thru braided line, monofilament, or any other line entanglement. Housed in a heavy-duty fiber reinforced nylon body, the blade is easily removed for cleaning and replacement. The line cutter fits securely into a 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" (11.4cm x 6.4cm) nylon pouch and uses a Velcro lanyard to prevent the line cutter from accidentally deploying. The pouch is equipped with 2 Velcro straps, allowing it to be mounted horizontally or vertically on webbing up to 2-inches (5.08 cm) wide.
