Abstract
Objects are received between first and second cutting elements of a cutter, which is suspended via the first cutting element from a rod-like object to be cut. The first cutting element, which preferably is formed as a cutter suspension including a cutting blade, is moved into the rod-like object toward the second element, until that object has been cut. The cutter preferably is mounted on an elongate handle, and rotary motion of such handle is translated into movement of the cutting elements toward each other. A quick release mechanism permits quick release action of the second element and an elongate member permits holding of the first cutting element onto the object, while the second element is pushed with the elongate handle toward the object.
