Strike King KVD 5" Plier Split Ring/Braid Cutter

The Strike King KVD 5" plier combines split ring management and braid cutting in one compact tool, designed for anglers who need reliable, no-fuss tackle maintenance at the water. Whether you're rigging topwater lures with split rings or trimming excess braid from your main line, this multi-purpose plier keeps your setup clean and ready to fish without fumbling through a tackle box full of separate tools.

Built from stainless steel with a black nickel coating, the KVD plier resists the corrosion that comes with repeated exposure to saltwater and freshwater environments. The serrated cutters are engineered to power through braided line without fraying or slipping, while the spring-loaded mechanism brings the jaws back open after each cut—a small detail that matters when you're making quick adjustments on the deck or in the boat.

The Combat Grip handles are textured to stay put in wet hands, even when you're moving fast between casts or re-rigging on the fly. A safety latch keeps the plier closed when it's clipped to your vest or stowed in a tackle pack, so you won't accidentally trigger the cutters or nick your gear.
