Removing metal etched parts from sprue

[faraway]

I am using a small professional cutter in the price range 50 - 100$ to cut etched metal, piano wires etc. It looks the same like the cutters used for ordinary wire but has much better blades. You buy one one for your life time and use it for ordinary wires too.

An example
