Depends on whether you're talking about cutting threads in them or merely about cutting them off. Cutting threads in the does require a special tool as spoke threads aren't cut but rolled. Using a die cutter is awkward and likely to result ina weaker thread. If your intention merely is to cut them off then any thread cutter strong enough to deal with steel will do the job. Don't get one intended for electrical (copper or aluminum) cable, as the steel spokes will damage those shears.
