I'd say cut it before you thaw it

I cut the cube before thaw, I use a kitchen knife. If it's going to be washed I don't see an issue. It's just seafood. I use kitchen utensils on my dog and cat food as well, so I'm not took fussed about it.
Buy a special knife if it's an issue. Most cut easily, since they usually are not frozen solid like an ice cube.

Well I travel quite a bit and use a blend of frozen foods. I thaw (barely) the blend together for 4 days worth of food and am trying out the new reefsicle which makes 4 "icesicles" that slowly melt and release though out the day. I'll keep you posted on how well this works.

cutting cubes works, but it;s annoying and tedious to me. I buy Rods, LRS, or PE mysis flat packs and cut the cubes to the size that I need. Toss all that in a freezer bag and you're good to go for a while.
OR put your cube in a small cup of RODI water. Feed a little and keep it in the fridge. It should be ok in there for a day or 2.
Good Luck and Happy Reefing!

This is what I do, I use the leftover food for the next feeding.
