I have no life so I thought I'd share a purchase I made

Mine distorts thin paper, a rollcutter lice pic works much better (for thin materials!).

These things always scared the crap out of me in the classroom.

"paper guillotine"

I always imagined taking off the blade and using it like a schmitar to fight off intruders

I got one off of amazon for about $20 a while back. Well worth the money. Cutting paper without one seems absurd now.

But some of them are not even sharp, it's not the fact that's it's sharp that cuts the paper, like plastic scissor can cut paper like a scissor would but could never slice a sheet of paper like a knife would.

I prefere to use a scalpel and a metal straightedge.

Can anyone recommend me a good one or tips for finding good ones?

I like my Dahle (I have the 15 inch). I'm not a snob about cutters, but it's sturdy, nothing has gotten squeaky or loose, and the cuts still come out clean ~2 years later.

If I'm stacking too many papers or cutting really thick material there is a bit of skewing, but afaik that's normal with most office level guillotine cutters. I think you can only avoid that with industrial cutting machines or a bomb ass rotary cutter, but I'm not that rich so I just split my big cuts into smaller stacks, the little guard it come with makes it easy to keep it consistent.
