Film cutter questions

I haven't seen this exact question posed before:
Are there any 35mm 5p cutters available besides the Realist?  

I have never seen a 35mm film cutter (though I admit I haven't been
keeping my eyes open for them until now.)  I've gleaned enough from 
watching the list to know that the Realist film cutter has a 5 sprocket 
advance so I know if I find a Realist cutter for a reasonable price, it 
will be mine, but since those don't seem to be all that common, are there
other cutters that will precisely do the Realist width cutting?  I've
been using scissors and heat seal 5p mounts for most of my small output
so far, and I spend entirely too much time retrimming the edges of the
film chips.  The cutter advertised in Reel 3D looked like a pull-through
device.  I can make a pretty accurate cutter, but if there are other 
tools already available which will do the job I need, I'd prefer to buy 
rather than build.

Thanks,

Jim
