Default "quicKutter" from Australia- cut ropes tangled @ prop?

If anyone has or knows of user "Pros & Cons" for subject, please share.
On the Morgan sailboat list, several are interested & hoping to find a
USA dealer, or package an order to Aust. Also, suggest checking its
Link- the "quicKutter" looks good. Ideas? JB Reeves Mathews, Va.

I agree with John and have followed the links but have not been able to
find a US Distributor. Perhaps if enough were interested, we could
organize a group buy... I'd be in for one

hi Karl. Thanks for another smart suggestion!

Please pass on to us/ Morganowners list anything you learn
a- Pros/ Cons heard from users of these "quicKutters" from Au. mfgr.,
b- approx. prices & if they must be purchased directly from Australia,
or who are qualified dealers in USA?,
c- how these compare to the other types of rope cutters.

With the several hassles we've had with crab pots, I'm fairly interesed
--if these really do work & aren't too costly. From some Goggle
trials, I've not found yet who on East Coast USA should be contacted.
We are going to Florida (Daytona Beach area) Mar. 25- April 2 and I'd
like to find any dealers or users near there.
Again, Karl- your insights are valuable! good sailing, John Reeves

Speaking of line cutters, having had my own encounter of that kind last
year, I was looking around and found this thing. The operating principle
seems to me to be much simpler, less intrusive, and probably more robust
that the other types.
