If you're in need of a paper cutter around the house or for travel and are not looking for a heavy, more expensive model, this little product does the trick. This plastic paper cutter is well constructed and does the trick for cutting standard copy paper. While I haven't tried it, but I think it would easily cut card stock as well with some firm pressure on the blade. Replacement blades are also available here on Amazon.I wanted a paper cutter that was compact, didn't cost a lot, and would easily let me cut copy paper for art projects. If the same is true for you, then this is the product you want to purchase. It is great for cutting one piece of paper at a time. I'm glad I made the purchase. It worked great for me!!
