Cable-cutting tool for touring?

What are all y’all putting in your tour toolkits to trim shift and brake cables? (Not housing, just cable.) We tour on a coupled tandem, so we have multiple coupled cables. I’d like to pack full-length cables and trim them on the fly.
I love my Pedro’s for the workshop, but that’s way too heavy for touring. I’ve packed a needle-nose pliers with a cutter that kinda works but can leave ends frayed.
Is there some compact option that makes clean cuts?
