Topband: Looking for recommendation for cutting tool for RG-6 with CCS center conductor

RG-6 is a special case in that virtually all of it
uses a copper clad steel (CCS) center conductor.
Many fine wire cutting tools are designed strictly
for copper, and can get ruined if used for steel.
I also want the cutter to slice the end off of the
RG-6 cleanly, rather than crushing it and distorting
the circular shape of the coax.

Can anyone recommend a quality cutting tool for RG-6?
