I have a pair of cutters, with about a 3 or 4 inch long razor sharp, replaceable blade, that I keep in my truck. I use those, when I don't have my loppers handy, or can't use them because it would be obvious what I am doing to certain........ uh....... park officials....... uh if I were to do such things, that is........

You want a tool, that is handy, and won't crush, or split the boo, or cane. The best tool, is the "one" you like.
