Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m removing a slice; or to lower a price;
An incision precise; or an editor’s splice;
Make a speech more concise; if a trim would look nice;
To shift half the deck twice; or the fate of blind mice.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    Cool choice!

    Criticism acidified is perceived as one;
    From home dishwasher, a knife will make one;
    With one incomplete, tree roots will shoot;
    Performing one can backfire to a malpractice suit.

    CUT is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    Nice anagram, Dharam. You even got it to rhyme!
