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.
