    Pretty sure a fine tooth blade on a Milwaukee Hackzall would work.

    Cut my long bed mat to a short bed with a cut off wheel on a Grinder. Once I got the pattern it took less than 5 minutes to cut. Easy Peasy

    OP, I had a friend who put it between two pieces of thin wood held together tightly with clamps. He then cut one straight with a small circular saw. Got a nice crisp edge. Might be worth looking into. But I also think a very good utility knife will do the trick if you score it and then keep cutting deeper.

    Personally, I would look into picking up a good carpet cutting knife. That may be your best bet.
