Just wanted to update...........

Tried it out the other night on an El Rico Habana torpedo. And you're right - the "rocking motion" is the way to go, rather than attempting to cut through. I, however, ended up cutting around the head, slicing the cap completely off. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the inspiration.
