This attachment is a fishing line cutter is designed to mount directly onto your fishing rod for quick and convenient access. It uses standard #11 X-Acto blades, making replacements simple and inexpensive.

Assembly Notes:
Insert a #11 X-Acto blade into Cutter_housing_side_1 and place cutter_housing_side_2 on top. 

Press in the 2x m4 nuts into Cutter_housing_side_2.

Install 2x m4 x 8mm screws and hand tighten. (ensure there no gap between the two sides). 

secure the cutter to your rod using appropriately sized O-rings. 

Test for tightness before use. 

As always, handle blades with caution.

NOTE - due to rods coming in all shapes and sizes, different size o-rings may be required for your specific rod. the 24mm diameter o-rings fit my 0.4" (12mm) diameter rod well and keep the line cutter snug. Try to size accordingly. 

UPDATE *******

I thickened up the top section to try to better protect your fingers from the blade!

I also added a line-keep to the front so you can put your hook through it.
