Pretty sure you can get the grip out of them just use hot water. If you want to cut them though I'm not sure you can because you can't really cut carbon poles which they are.

Heat that bitch up and Use one of those rubber things used to open jars on the shaft part and have someone twist the handel in the opposite direction.

hot water..
then when you cut them down and they get more narrow, wrap tape around the pole that will be under the grip so that it has the same width as before. you should add glue too.
