Victor Portable Badminton String Cutter (Pink) Review

The last job in any restring is the smallest one: once the final knot is tied, the string tail has to be trimmed close so nothing snags or works loose. A short, dedicated cutter makes that easy, and the Victor portable folding string cutter is a tidy little tool for it at £8.49.

What it is

This is a pen-style folding cutter aimed at badminton players who restring or look after their own rackets. The two slim handles fold together into a compact barrel, a protective cap clips over the cutting end, and a wrist strap keeps it to hand at the stringing table. Capped, it measures about 9.5 cm and weighs roughly 21 g, so it slips into a kit bag, a pocket or a pencil case without you noticing it is there. It is genuine Victor, model PF4711, with a stainless steel cutting edge set into lightweight ABS handles. The colour we stock is pink.

What it is good for

Its main job is trimming string ends close after a restring, and a small dedicated cutter is easy to bring in near the knot. The same edge handles a few other fiddly tasks too: cutting grip tape to length when you rewrap a handle, and slicing the tape on a tube of shuttles. It is designed for a clean, controlled trim rather than heavy cutting, so think of it as a finishing tool rather than a workshop instrument.

Is it worth it

For £8.49 this is the sort of small, sensible buy that quietly earns its place. If you restring at home, carry a spare reel to club nights, or just like keeping your own grips in order, a proper cutter to hand is one less thing to borrow at the club. It keeps things simple: one clear job, a sharp edge and a cap to cover it. The Victor Portable Badminton String Cutter in pink pairs naturally with a fresh set from our badminton strings range.
