I make an incision the length of the grip with utility knife. You can run the blade cutting edge up at 45 degrees with the top of the blade against the blank if you are worried about scratching, but I don't usually bother.
I then use a blunt screw driver to pry one side off, all the way around, sliding it between the grip and foam and lifting/prying a bit at a time.
It works better if you can avoid tearing the grip. Keep working up and down the grip, extending the lift about 1/2" at a time.
You are left with a fine layer of fuzz epoxied to the blank. I hit it with a heat gun and scrape it off with plastic scraper. I clean up with acetone and a scotchbrite pad.

IMHO, this is the absolute best and eaisest way... i've tried several methods, including the string saw made for windshield removal, I always go back to this one...
