Thrift store find
 

I believe this is for cutting wrapping paper but I think it can be used to cut chenille or cut beside the welt on blue jeans to open them up. The razor blade protrudes down into the slit when the door is closed. It cost a whole .25 cents.[ATTACH=CONFIG]587556[/ATTACH]

Great find!!!

it looks like you could cut chenille with it i have the olfa chenille cutter looks looks something like that question is would you be able to find those kind of blades i haven't seen those blades in ages.

pretty handy

Nice find.

Love your thrift store find...great bargain! ...and I like your cherry fabric!

That’s a great find...it’s sure to come in handy. Tartan and Mandyrose, where do you find your chenille? I have been unsuccessful in my search.

great find....great price....

Great find.

I never find things like that! Lucky you Tartan. Jmoore you can find chenille by the roll or yardage in most fabric stores at least that's where I get mine.

Good find! You can probably find the blades at Home Depot or Lowes - they're the same kind that are in a widget scraper thing I got there.

Interesting tool - lucky you to find it! (and know enough to buy it!!)

It's actually to slit envelopes open, or that's what mine does. Will have to try it on other things.

Lucky you.

Wow I've never seen anything like that. Does it have a brand name on it?

I have one of those and have used it for cutting gift wrap. It never occurred to me to try to cut fabric with it, but I may have a go if I can find the thing. Can't remember where I got it, and it's probably stored in a Christmas box and will turn up again in 11 short months. :eek:

Editing to add that I checked Amazon, and double edged razor blades are still available. Probably they're in every corner drugstore, but don't you wonder who still uses them?
