Wrap the cable very tightly with tape and cut through the tape. This will reduce fraying quite a lot. – Harper - Reinstate Monica Apr 12 '18 at 16:16

Good wire cutters. I have also used a chisel and anvil. Then you need the correct size of crimp or swage fitting. Depending on the size , there are also regular cable clamps. Carbon steel or stainless steel are similar high strength so that makes no difference to the cutting. I have assumed a small size like 1/8 in.
