Rope Cutters

[Lost]

Can anyone give me any feed back, goos or bad on rope cutters they've fitted? I've been looking at all the alternatives and the new QuicKutter™ looks interesting, but wanted to get some opinions on the older models that are available, although they are a little more expensive? any comments, advise? The QuicKutter can be found using google...
Thanks

I think you will find a broad opinion from this forum in favour of the Stripper (amongst others). I've had one on my last two boats and found them excellent.

Thanks for the comments but after to talking to a Naval architect I'm fitting a quicKutter...much simpler and more robust and they say it can cut ss wire...I'll send another message in after a seasons use!

I fitted a prop protector a few seasons ago to save money, as I thought, but got rid of it. At the end of a couple of seasons it was too blunt to cut bread. It is still in the garage somewhere. I changed it for a stripper which remains sharp. A bit too sharp when I dismantle it at the end of each season.
