Have you got a guide?
I'd be leery of cutting freehand, as you can't file the top to make it square to the steerer, in the same way you can with alu/steel.
I've used an old stem as a guide before. Doesn't have to be absolutely 100% square anyway.
Good call and I agree, but freehand can go way off kilter.
Saw guides are a lot cheaper than carbon steered forks.
