Overview
Fishing gear is CUDA's core business, and the 18825 cutter reflects that: 3.27 ounces, an aluminum body, and stainless steel components built for a tackle bag rather than a shop drawer.
CUDA is a brand built around fishing gear rather than general hand tools, and the 18825's featherweight aluminum and stainless steel build matches that focus more than a workshop cutter would. It is a single-piece tool, so there are no spare blades or attachments included.
- 3.27 ounces total weight
- Aluminum body construction
- Stainless steel components

Who it's for
Anglers wanting a compact, corrosion-resistant cutter for line or leader on the water are the natural buyer here, given CUDA's fishing-tool lineage. Shop buyers cutting thick cable or heavy material need a different tool entirely.
