Cut is an HM in Pokemon Emerald that you should get for exploring the Hoenn region. It is also a decent move that can be useful during early encounters with Wild Pokemon. As per its description it “Cuts the foe with sharp scythes, claws, etc.”. But the game won’t tell you which NPC gives it to you. So here is the location where you can get the HM 01 in Pokemon Emerald.
