Cutting a rubber mat -- looking for suggestions.

[usonian]

8. Not "astro" turf or whatever it's called these days?

I have some rubber mats (hardware store variety) outside my stairs to keep from tracking dirt. (serious country setting)

1. You have to get real heavy ones to stay put (I imagine you could use tent spikes) and
2. The black mats get mighty damn hot. (but you say, shade)

Light stuff, you can use a strong knife. Heavier? Might use a saber saw or small circular. Just not on the artificial grass, as it will catch in the teeth of the blade. Rubber is OK, I think. Haven't used a toothless circular saw blade (i.e. use on acoustical panels that will shred like crazy otherwise)
