My vote is definately cuttable.

Back in the late 70's when I were but a lad, got my first chainsaw training for a sumer job removing over 100 dead elm trees near a small town called Ilkeston, was a park part of a stately home, now is some horrible theme park....anyway...the bloke who gave all us very keen teenagers training in the use of our saws (great big buggers on leather strops attached to our waists!) used many very unique visual aids one of which was a film (not video 16mm film) of a bloke cutting throught the side of a van (painted like a security van the type with money in it) with a large chain saw 090 size...cut right through, cut a door on the side, right through the struts and everything!! Now I realize that the chain must have been some kind of tungsten carbide but pretty damn impressive...never forgot that bloke or his visual aids.
