I assume by "cutting" you mean "capturing" or "taking", like in this game:
 

This is posted just to show you how easy it is to mate without capturing any pieces.

I was going through some old photos and found one where I won a game against my father without any pieces being taken.

Was a victory via knight checkmate, so a bit different to the standard fools checkmate.

I played an online game about 2 and half years ago where I checkmated as black without either side losing any pieces. Pretty rare for this kind of thing to happen!
