Cutter


 * You may also be looking for a kuttar, a pole-arm weapon used by the Jem'Hadar.

A cutter was the term for people who worked as part of a mining team and used phasers to split asteroids so excavators could access the valuable resources inside.

A Starfleet ensign who shot himself in the foot with a phaser during the Battle of Ajilon Prime in 2373 told Jake Sisko that after his court martial, he could become a cutter.
