Show Me Your Plug Cutters

[crawdad]

Been thinking about getting a plug cutter and I’m looking for inspiration. Are yours antique finds, DIY, or biltong cutters? Show me what you got and tell me a little something about them.

I've only chewed plug tobacco so far so that's also been my plug cutter of choice.

I keep it simple with an Opinel knife.

As of the moment I use my trusty russlock case pocket knife, but I am also looking for one when I go to flea markets and antique stores.
