I just sold a pair of the big VS pliers only because I wanted a pair with more needlenose-type jaws for easier access to hooks deep in a fish's mouth. The big VS jaws are very wide & blunt, but powerful. Other than that those pliers were very good except that after 2 years in the surf the cutters lost their edge in cutting braid cleanly.
I bought a pair of the Orvis because they are titanium like the VS, have carbide cutters like the VS, have nice long jaws & a better angle on the jaws for leverage & de-hooking, and like ITS said above have a lifetime unconditional Orvis warranty.
Spence, I researched the Donnmars & I think the problem you are having is that the 950 Donnmars have the scissor-type jaws not really made to cut braid cleanly while the other models (800, 850, & 880) have the anvil-type jaws made to cut braid.
