Yeah, when they make cylinder glass (still in use for stained art glass)
they use hand shears to cut the long bubble open and then flop it out
flat. Tin snips are popular but any heavy shear will do. It cuts very
easily, but they have to move fast.
Soft glass you can cut with a dull knife, and they do that too for
nipping off small bites.
These bench shears for metal are up around 30" long and weigh ~30 pounds!
