A device using a utility knife blade to cut thicker cables. I have tested a 35mm² cross section stranded wire cable and managed to cut it with effort. Your results may vary depending on the diameter of the strands and the sharpness of your blades. 

I've printed this model in PETG with 15% infill.

Assembly: 
- Slide the hinge into the base and secure it with the pin.
- Push the Retension over the end of the pin: Use the AssemblyHelper or something with simmilar dimensions and a hammer to push the retension over the pin if it is not possably by hand. 
- To insert the utility blade, put a piece of wood or something else, you don't mind getting damaged between Base and Hinge and place the utility blade in the Hinge (as far as you can push it by hand). Close the device on the peace of wood, to fully seat the blade in the hinge.

Notes: 
- It is possible to use clamps on this device to get more force on a cable, if you can't push hard enough by hand
- Be careful when using this device.
