Re: [Paddlewise] Re[2]: Skinny butt?

I have found that a hacksaw blade does great for cutting mincell.  I've had much
better luck than with serrated knives; finer cut.  I recently cut some knee/thigh
pads using one of those small hacksaw blade holders (with ~4" span) and whole blade
that had several inches of "overhang", providing an "unrestricted" cutting blade as
a knife.  I also found the inherent spring of the extended blade allowed for a nice
shaping tool, almost obviating the need for any other tools.  I just finished up
with some sandpaper.
