That is the opposit of my experience. I've found the stuff nigh onto
imporrible to cut with a knife or box cutter and resorted to using either
cable cutters (same as the ones used for EHS) or bolt cutters but they leave
a few strands of the Kevlar that still need to be cut.

I routinely use a simple utility knife for cutting Philly...it works just
fine when you "saw" the Philly with it. The hardest job in working with
Philly
is putting on the ends. I would rather put 3/8 EHS grips on than 3/16
Philly. What a PITA! It's easier if you have one end in a vise.
