If you go to any fabric or craft store, you can buy something called a hand
held Rotary Cutter.  It looks like a pizza cutting wheel, but is as sharp as
a razor blade.  

You can buy replacement blades, without the handle, which sounds like what
you'd need here.  Fiskers and Olfa are two popular brands.
