Yeah the Snub nose blue Berkleys are the best I have found -
But having hook removal pliers, that can also cut untensioned braid has become my minimum standard for pliers these days
Good test YD1.
I've never found any 'good' cutting pliers for braid. Even the special braid cutters are usually useless.
So I generally stick to a sharp knife - not perfect all the time, but pretty good.
