    very cool,
    but this raises a question for me, in a few articles i have read, they go through comparing a knife like cut to a break, like using a pair of pliers and snapping the frag. the article i read said when you use a knife or scissors it crushes the zooanxthelle killing off new growth tips, but snapping it breaks them in half cleanly allowing themselves to be repaired.

    To me this made sense like in horticulture when clipping a growth arm that you would do it on an angle as opposed to crushing the arm therefore creating two new growth shoots.

    Is breaking using pliers a better method for fragging or using knive cuts like these bone cutters are just the same.
