In the past I cut the nails holding the curving/layered edge board with a multi-tool but on the latest Shasta I used the saws-all with a metal cutting blade. I was surprised how fast it moved without destroying the birch panels.
I use the cheaper blades now to cut out windows/etc. As said above, even the most expensive blades don't last long on nails. I bought a very highly rated $17 blade and it lasted (maybe) three times longer on nails than the $2.50 cheap metal cutting blade.
Hi NC, Did you use a smaller s awsall like what vikx recommends or the big one I use for cutting tree branches sometimes. I just can't picture using the big one for cutting paneling from the wooden framing behind it. Seems sort of over kill and risks destruction. Thanks, Rod

I used the full size saws-all. Once the blade is between the birch panel and the curving/edge board it's easy to control. At times I cut in the middle of the curving, cutting the nails below the heads. From that point the curving basically pops off.
I once tried cutting out windows with the saws-all and it chipped the birch.
