An apparatus for cutting includes a base, a fixed member attached to the base, where the fixed member includes a first cutting wedge, and a lever arm pivotably attached to the base and/or the fixed member at a pivot point. The lever arm includes a second cutting wedge, where the lever arm is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The first cutting wedge and the second cutting wedge are oriented perpendicular to the pivot point and the lever arm rotates to move the second cutting wedge to contact the first cutting wedge. A cutting surface of the first cutting wedge aligns with a cutting surface of the second cutting wedge when the lever arm is in the closed position.
