Back to cutting; I cut with a Piso Podang occasionally; it has a nicely curved blade .
The test material is a Pool Noodle stuck upright in a base; the noodles offer very little resistance so the cutting technique is everything .

Took me quite a bit of practice to get a nice cut as you have to draw the blade through the cut; otherwise the noodle just deflects .
