Try scoring them with a knife and then cut them with a scissor
Make sure your scissors are nice and sharp. This should keep the spoons from splitting.
Very carefully.... I would try to put them in HOT WATER first, to build up a weakness, and this should really help. I don't mean BOILING, I said HOT., ok? Tell us how this comes out, or do this several times, the more you do this the better the results, ok?
Also, cut them off a little further from the bottom of the spoon itself.

I would try heating an exacto knife or tiny saw blade in a flame. Cut/ melt with that.
