There is a free video on finehomebuilding.com where the guy swears by
a wide putty knife. He shows it cutting 1" (or so) foam board, but it
might apply to the thicker stuff

Curious... I would think it would tear and grab. If you sharpened the
edges, it might cut through nicely.

Depends on the "foam."
Putty knives work great on some rigid without sharpening and not great
on other stuff without sharpening.
I'm still not convinced everyone in this thread is talking about rigid
foam when offering their opinions.
