I have a hand held propane torch, various files and other standard household

Anyone that could help me?

You could buy a bottle cutter but you won't be able to get a really
nice polished top.

Bottle cutter or file and rubber hammer have near same results. *I plan to heat
the cut top into a smooth surface.

You will need to heat the entire bottle and not just the top. Try it
and you end up with a broken bottle.
