7x7 splicing, obtaining a fair entry

[marujo.sortudo]

Email sent! I just thought of another question that might be of general interest to practice splicers. Once I finish a splice I need to get out the thimble and cut the splice off of the rest of the wire. Right now the only tool I have that is consistently up to the task is my hacksaw. Surely, there must be a better way to make short work of this task. What tool would you recommend for cutting through wire rope expediently? (The sizes of rope I'm dealing with are 1/4" to 3/8") Thanks for the encouragement!
