A simple saw and hoping you hold it straight will do the job but this is an inexpensive tool and great way to do a clean looking, precise job. Pics would be appreciated when you are done.

The pipe cutter works awesome as qcpmsame has said on aluminum steerers. What about CF stems? Anything work better than a fine hacksaw blade?
