What tool/method do you use to prevent Fraying when cutting cable sleeving?

So what do you guys use to prevent your cable sleeving from fraying when you cut them?

i know the best/easist tool to use would be a hot knife, but those thiings are too pricy (upwards of $50). some people heat a knife over a stove until its red hot, but id like to try something a little safer. some people use a heat gun to melt the ends after it cut, but i heard its too hard to control where it melts.

what if i cut the cable sleeving with a scissor, then touch the ends with a soldering iron to melt the sleeving fibers?

I just cut it with scissors and then use a lighter to singe the edges.... I always cover the ends of my sleeving with heat shrink anyways, so that hides the melted plastic.
