Simply type in "swann morton" in google and you'll find lots of sites though, I just linked to the first one.

Though I get mine from a friend in London, he buys them wholesale, so I get 100 for a mere $5. But even at $30 they are a steal compared to x-acto blades because one swann-morton scapal lasts me about 75x (yes, seventy-five times) longer than an x-acto of the same blade classification.

No, knives are better across the board. Simply take pieces of junk card from the scraps of a papercraft, mark a curve with a pencil or pen, then practice free-handing the curve. Most people get good at it within about 50 cuts, so one mid-sized papercraft will render enough scrap to practice enough. I also suggest doing 3 or 4 scrap curves before cutting a real curve everytime you sit down/per cutting session to cut a curved piece – that way if your hand is unsure, it will fuck up the scrap and not your actual part.

But it burns the paper. No good man, no good.

don't burn ALL the paper, just where you cut,
in effect if you could have a laser thin enought,
it'd be the best papercutter...
imagine a laser robocraft!

Imagine? Laser cutters are common in industry and are used in low production run (1000<)paperkits when it is not cost-effective to manufacture dies to stamp the parts. 1000 and more they tend to go with diecuting.

The swann-morton retractaway is the perfect size, weight, and shape for hobby applications especially modelmaking and papercraft. You can also get the blades cheaply through the same dealer. Typically when I order from them, it say that it will cost 45 quid/90 bucks, but when it shows up on my CC statement, it is usually closer to 8.5 quid/17 bucks for the knife and 2 100-packs of blades sent from the UK to Nevada, US.
