Knives are usually xacto's, or box cutters, and a good pair of scissors. Xacto and blades with my scissors cost me about $7.
Cutting mats are any good self repairing variety. BUT any good hard surface that wont absorb marks, or a Used Phone Book could also work. I got a good mat for $10 at my local Wal-Mart.
Glue: At the paperworks site some members started a month or so ago, we have a post about the glues we use. Anything from contact superglues to Elmers (which is slow to bond, and can be messy) is okay, its mostly personal preference. (and depends on the country you're in) I used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue for most of mine, but now use Loctite brand super glue.
Paper: again, depends on what you're doing. 20-24lb copier/printer paper is common for smaller models. 65 lb paper is a bit stiffer and good for larger models. 110 lb (pound) card stock type paper is for models or support pieces you want to be really strong. I use 110lb card stock for almost all my models.
Here's a link to the paperworks site. (our home away from home when /b/ invades)
