Cutting forks

erm, forks are solid steel and you'll need a tidyish cut i.e straight, so probably a hacksaw, not a junior hacksaw, or you'll be there all day.

edit] pipe cutters are made for soft copper!!
edit 2] junior hacksaw is hard to cut straight with, and its all bendy, get a prosper hacksaw ! lol

"erm, forks are solid steel"

I have 5 pairs of forks in the same room as me right now, one pair is steel the rest are not, did you know that if you walk into most bike shops the overwhelming number of forks will be alloy, then carbon and possibly a few steel steerers on forks.

Although you are right that if the forks are steel then a junior hack saw will be hard work.
