Can anyone point me in the direction of some cutters that will cut this stuff cleanly. My current ones just make a mess of the braid and make fitting the olive impossible. The blurb that came with the hose says to use hook type cutters, just can't seem to find any with this shape.

Decent cable cutters (shimano or park).

Wrap a piece of electrical tape around the area you're cutting, place in cutters, place on garage floor and whack them with a hammer.

I have a Shimano gear cable cutter that I used when cutting my Goodridge braided brake hoses.

Like a knife through butter....
