When I'm lazy, I use a razor knife with a new blade. Nice smooth, even cut, minimal loss of material and no trimming or filing.

I thought the same, but then isn't a hacksaw by definition is the one with fine teeth?
>>A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally and mainly made for cutting metal.
(Wikipedia).

All my hacksaws and the blade I saw being sold are very fine, capable of metal cutting, with or without soft middleline (non-tempered).

Unless we also call a bow-saw a hackdsaw (that one is coarser as it is for wood).
(I do not pretend to know everything about saws )

I did that a couple of times, the knife thing. It did work.
Used a large Exacto with a large (#10 methinks) brand new blade.
It did work.
But then I had my fingers and wrist hurting after that - lots of force with small leverage. Plus, I think, hacksaw is way safer.
