To cut large stranded cabling, I always use a curve blade cutter such as this...Cutting 0 gauge-cable-cutter.jpg

for a nice cut my preference has been ordinary steak knives with a fine serrated edge.... you can buy 5 for a buck at the dollar store.... only takes a few seconds and you can easily trim off insulation while you are at it...
