There is a tool for that purpose
But I doubt you’d be able to guess its name
The crown race removal tool
dancing james-
Yeah I was imagining one of those cigar cutter looking things but he just pulled out a Stanley blade and whacked it a bit and made me feel inadequate.
Reading this thread has made me more appreciative of my LBS who've done all sorts of shit for me, often for free when all I've ever really bought from there is consumables, tools and occasionally very reduced components.

Dear LBS
When I brought my stuck crown race to the shop today, imagining some kind of magic tool that would just easily remove it, and then when you set about doing exactly what I was trying to do, with a mallet and a blade, but I'd chickened out of, I felt bad.
