Hi there,
I use scissors to cut my rubbers. The result is never perfect, but it is kind of decent. Over many years, having tried all kinds of knifes (even good British surgical scalpels) I always go back to scissors. With a knife, the result is sometimes an angled edge which I hate and punching through thick rubber with pimples gives an even more serrated edge. I've been using duckbill / tailor's / napping / carpet pile scissors lately, like this pair from Kretzer, made in Solingen, Germany:
I am very much inspired by quality, and just out of curiousity I read this short article:

Since the Japanese are at the cutting edge of scissor technology, maybe they got an even better or a more creative model for cutting table tennis rubbers? Would be interesting to know, this forum has many helpful Japanese members.
