This little beauty seems to work a certain type of nowhere-near-as-expensive-as-an-industrial-hotknife magic on polypropylene webbing.
I bought it from Thread Studio at the AQC earlier this year. I've only just got around to trying it on webbing.
I'm sure that a soldering iron would do the same trick, if you have one, but I think that this is a good option if you don't (I didn't). Just beware fumes and only melt webbing in areas with lots of ventilation.

Cut and melt in one go, clever! Beats using scissors and matches (which is my usual method...;o)
Brilliant!
I bought myself a soldering iron about a year ago (and its still in the packet). Now I have a reason to fire it up!
What a great tool! ♥
How funny is that. A month ago I pulled out the same exact tool from the drawer (where it was stored a few years ago after being bought on sale just in case I would ever need it) to cut webbing also!
Can't believe how many times we all are working on the same kinds of things on opposite sides of the world at the same time! Glad you posted it!
I bought a super super cheap soldering iron with a fine round tip for melting holes for rivets in seatbelt webbing. It works a treat!
Just wondering Miss Nikki, what you put under the webbing when you cut it this way?
