Believe it or not, a hack saw works very well. The blade is thinner than a knife and you can even get a wire to fit the hack saw. There will still be some "fuzz" but not nearly like using a knife. You can also wrap your styro with plastic wrap and it helps a bunch.

Foam can be cut using a serrated knife or a heated foam cutter. A foam cutter uses a small wire to smoothly and cleanly cut foam.
