rspears, I think I know exactly what you are saying. Leave the end on the cable that is held on by the set screw. Pull some of the cable through this fitting cut it and then reinstall the set screw. Right? Well I did in fact think of that, but way after I had pulled the cable from the sheaf and cut it. Now available to me this weekend is only a cable that the cable goes into the fitting and not through it.
