I had a Background/ Seamless cutter for years. It was really great. Small could fit in your hane ane with a circular blade and in went across the seamless -- way better than using scissors. Now it's lost, and called BH and others stores, but I can't find one for sale. Anyone else ever use this product?

Quilters use circular cutters that sound like you may be describing. Check a fabric or quilting store.

Chuck, that not it This is made for photographers and seamless. It fits in your hand, and inside is a smaller circular outing of plastic was a tiny circular metal bladed that swoops across the seamless so you don't even have to push up and down soccors like, just glided across the seamless. (the tiny metal blade inside it was like what pizza cutter does except for seamless paper)

It was perfect, but now can't find anyone yet who has heard of it but me.

Yup… zips through 4 ply mat board pretty easily. The one you describe sounds “better” for seamless, but this should work if you can’t find the genuine article.

Rand, sorry you are saying you have used this, yourself for seamless? Was not clear yet..... Always want know if someone referring something they have and use. Often people recommend things they never tried, which is helpful sometimes as well..

Clearly not the same as the one you lost, but perhaps something like this would work for you. (You don't have a location listed in your profile and the link above is to the U.S. Amazon site, but I suspect these are widely available elsewhere.)

I have not, but I've been cutting various rolled papers with a scissors—and after seeing your post I decided there had to be a better way, looked around, found these, decided they were worth a try, and ordered a couple for myself.

Ok report back here thanks. Be curious if someone can find the thing I had.

If you need a specialty tool, this looks like a winner. Otherwise, a Leatherman, pair of scissors or razor will work.

Got Amazon product, not work well at all. What I had before would grip both sides paper. This more fabric cutter so have press on ground or have another something balance. HOpe solve riddle of what had one day.

These are a little more fancy, I like Olfa stuff in general:

No; but the sparks on the film sets I used to work on used something very similar to cut scrims, gels, andtracing-paper and so on. They are cheap enough just to try one.

Simon, thanks.

I believe the "OLO rolling scissors" is what you seek, and yes I've tried it with seamless, and it works very well. Check for them on ebay.

Otherwise, for $20 I'd give these a try if I were you, but I have not as I still have a working OLO cutter.
