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.

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

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.

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?
