Cutting stroke (5)

I believe the answer is:

slash

(Other definitions for slash that I've seen before include "Cut as with a sword - /" , "Cut; reduce drastically" , "Oblique stroke" , "Reduce (a price) greatly" , "Greatly reduce (prices)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
