I would like to cut a piece off to use when I change the oil in my truck. I was thinking an electric knife. But we don't have one. Has anyone tried to cut one? What did you use and how did it work? Maybe a serrated edge knife like you use to cut bread ? 2006 F350 CC LB 6.0 diesel dually. 2006 Cedar Creek fifth wheel. Six 6 volt golf cart batteries,3000 watt inverter.

It came out perfectly straight and even just like a factory made cut......
