I've used several different methods to trim spurs; from using a Dremel tool with a cutter, hacksaw blade, coping saw, even a sharp new pair of wire cutters (good way to just trim the ends on spurs, plus as it cuts, it pinches the ends shut, less bleeding, if any)- I'd only advise someone experienced in trimming spurs to use them..
