I'd be very careful with that sort of cutting if I were you... A very sharp knife doesn't need a large pull over the line to cut it when it is tensioned... I'd seek another way if it was me on the jammed prussik. Footlocking can be done with spikes. I've done it myself a lot of times. Can't you just use a grigri or petzl stop for descents on a single line? No need to cut anything and no need to back it up.
