My wooden wicks come as a default 5' but I need them to be 3.1'. Up until now I've been manually cutting them with garden shears, and it makes my hand sore. So I was thinking a saw might be better, but I have concerns that the edges would be too jagged. What do you think?

i suggest a fairly fine toothed hand saw, like one of the japanese ones sold at lee valley (or a knockoff online). https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/search#q=hand%20saw&t=product-search-tab&sort=relevancy&layout=card&numberOfResults=25 that said, I have a dewalt table saw in the basement, welcome to come use it!

A miter saw/table saw with a fine finish saw blade can make really clean cuts. If you want to go table saw route, you can get or make a cross cut sled imo this is overkill for a v1, but tons of videos on how to DIY your own sled pretty quickly. 5' is pretty long for a sled, but possible if you have the room. Depending on the depth, you could probably jig up a circular saw to do this also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWZVL568c0Q

It should be a clean cut. If you haven't used one before, here is a great safety video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K77fFwDjRl8
