The Line Cutterz Story

From Passion to Patents: The Line Cutterz Story

 

It all started on the tranquil waters of Lake Chetek, Wisconsin, where a young Vance Zahorski discovered his love of fishing alongside his grandpa, reeling in sunnies, bass, walleye, and northern pike. From those early days of ice fishing through frigid Wisconsin winters to eventually conquering the ocean waves and exploring the sport of kayak fishing, Vance’s passion for the water has only grown stronger.

 

But after 35 years and countless moments of cutting line with his teeth or fumbling for scissors, Vance thought, “There has to be a better way.” And that’s when the game changed. Driven to create a safer, faster, and more convenient solution for anglers everywhere, he designed the now patented Line Cutterz Ring, allowing fishermen to make a quick, effortless cut and get right back to what they love: catching fish.

 

Fast forward to today, Line Cutterz holds 6 U.S. patents with two more pending, representing innovation not just in fishing but across a growing list of industries. As seen on ABC’s Shark Tank and The View, our award-winning tools have made waves, securing recognition like the “Best Cutting Tool” award at ICAST, the world’s largest sportfishing trade show. We’re not stopping there—Line Cutterz is actively expanding into new industries, from outdoor gear to sewing, automotive, and beyond, bringing patented cutting-edge solutions to new heights.
