I seen one of these in plastic thought that it would work in steel as well. Uses a utility blade to cut and can be flipped around to pull strings.

Looks like a good deal for cutting twine. What about netwrap? What keeps the blade in?

Nice work on the sign. Did you laser cut that?

There is a little screw that holds the blade in. It fits in one of the notches in the utility blade. The sign was all cut free hand with a plasma, one of those good from far but far from good deals!

Looks like the string cutter soapweed posted last year. I really wanted one...and he posted where to order them from. Gave it to Mr Lilly for Christmas last year...and that's all he's used to cut string since. He loves it. It's a real handy lil doo dad.

Can someone please post where to buy one of those do-dads again. With this cold weather and the twin frozen to the hay I am having a time removing twine.
Thank you
Frozen in Alabama.

I could make one up and send it your way but I think the freight from sask. to Alabama might kill you! They sure do work good for frozen strings.

Pretty cool little thing. Where are you at? PM me if you want.

Here is a picture of the one I use. My daughter painted the handle pink, and that is very helpful if it gets accidentally dropped on the ground or in the hay. Rancher3, that is a very nice twine cutter that you made. Personally though, I would prefer the handle to be "parallel" to the hook and knife, rather than perpendicular. It seems more "user-friendly" this way, as well as better fitting in the side pocket of the door on the pickup.

Glad someone is still making them, as the supplier for the ones we've been using has quit the business.

I was wondering if the handle wouldn't get in the way when trying to dig frozen embedded strings if it were parallel?

The twine cutters we use have wooden handles that can swivel to be used in either position. I just polled all the members of our hay-feeding family, and we all agreed that we like the handle best when it is in the flat position.

I would have thoght the same as per, but i have never tried it. Like they say don't knock it till you do! I just made that one up on Monday and have fed with it for a couple days seems great so far, as far as storage I leave it hanging on the head ache rack so that no little fingers will find it in the truck. I never posted the pictures to try and sell them but if no one can find them I could make a few up. By the way, I sure do enjoy listening to you guys talk about your operations and getting to see some nice country in pics. :D
