Got it last year at the Minnesota convention. This is what I have, but it may not meet your needs. I am cutting cable for ground stakes and to make double loop DP tie offs

dustytinner trapper D Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 1,628 SE Minnesota	Originally Posted by ~ADC~ I prefer these to the Felco C7's for on the line. I leave my C7s at home on the snare building bench. They are about $20 a pair as opposed to three times that the C7's cost these days. These cut cleanly every time same as the c7s but are smaller to carry, get in deep through the fur to cut super tight snares, and they fit my hand better. I'm not sure who sells them these days. Called Compact Cable Cutters when Funkes carried them. Similar http://btemodels.com/cablecutters.html Life member Minnesota Trappers Association FTA,Sportsmen's Alliance
