Default How do I cut open an oil filter?

So I broke in my fresh engine this summer. Yesterday I changed the oil and checked for metal particles. I was actually surprised at just how clean the oil was. I'd like to cut open the filter to see what it trapped, but I'm not quite sure what the best way is to cut it open. I could certainly cut it open with my horizontal bandsaw, but I'm afraid that would introduce metal particles from cutting it.

I'm open for suggestions..... Any ideas?
