If it's that heavy, I'm not sure it will make a very good kilt...how are you going to sew it? That being said, heat is your solution for cutting I think. Being in the Army and doing several modifications to tactical gear and the like, I use an old butter knife that I set on a stove burner and heat it up...and then melt/cut through the nylon. It gives a nice finished edge too. Just don't use a knife you ever want to use for anything else again...because it will be ruined!
