Evan, There is a specific tool for cutting cables and it is found at bike shops! If you are concerned about getting a clean cut, I suggest buying the $20 bike tool or asking a bike mechanic to cut the cable for you. This makes me wonder if anyone uses bicycle brake cable (not the "shift" cable that is smaller & weaker) for their rudders. At any rate, the tool makes a clean cut w/o fraying the ends, but I would still use solder or super glue to ensure they stay that way.
