For cutting nylon cable ties, I've had good luck with these cheap flush  cutters from Harbor Freight:

 They cut the loose end of a plastic cable tie flush and don't leave a sharp  edge.  Buy a few because they are cheap and don't last  forever.  But if you don't try to cut anything other than plastic cable  ties or copper wire, they'll last for most of an airplane project.

YEARS ago, when I was still working for a living, I wrapped,     tensioned and cut off thousands of cable ties over the years with     this little gem.

     I still have it, and on finding it and trying it a few minutes ago,     it still works great.  Tensions the tie and then with a quarter turn     twist, cuts it low enough that the cut end is usually not a problem     (once you get used to doing it...even the first time, it leaves only     a small twisted tip). 

     

     The only problem with it is if you try to put too much tension on     the tie, the gripper will cut the tie off about a half inch long.     You can usually regrip it and then twist.  

     

     I was surprised that it is still being sold after over 30 years     since I first got mine!  

     

     Here it is at Newark...that's where I got mine from 30 years ago.  I     didn't do any further searching and, as usual with Newark's prices     (I dealt with Newark all the time at work because I had a crush on     my local sales rep!), you may get it cheaper elsewhere.

Flush slicing cable Ties is sufficient to confront copper and steel wire and it cuts squarer in impenetrable things being sloped on the two borders. Flush cutters are slanted on the inward crosswise just and are for the most part a well obligation undertaking.
