    I used scissors. It cuts easily. I saved a section to use as a sit pad, very handy.

    Edit: I don't have this pad, but have had several similar CCF pads.

    I'm not familiar with Oware CCF, but I've purchased Therm-a-rest Z-lite (egg crate) CCF and cut it with an Xacto knife into sitting pads.

    Razor knife/box cutter. Use a brand new blade and a straight edge to keep the cut nice and clean.
