Knob and Tube Question

[curtis68]

I have an old building that has some K+T, its a 2nd floor apartment. I have a wall sconce that I want to replace, when I removed it, the leads that are 14GA stranded wire that are attached to the K+T and a bit shotty looking so i want to replace them. 6 Knob and tube wires come together at this light, 3 Hot and 3 Neutral, and I want to replace the stranded wire for the light. Whats the best way to do it, Cut the soldered junction off and use wire nuts?

Thanks
Steve
