I seem to remember that Kodak or Ilford used to sell a device to safely cut 35mm negative for storage. I have had a few mishaps with the paper cutter (scratches)

Has anyone got a suggestion. I am looking for something that holds the negative and you have a blade that cuts accurately between frames.

Believe it or not, there is an entire APUG thread on this very subject: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

If you look through that thread, you will see a post from me linking to an eBay listing for the "Matin" cutter I use: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Matin-NEGATI...5-6x6-6x7-Format-New-/150989845483?rmvSB=true

Thanks for the information. I will probably get the main cutter.

That's the same cutter I use and it works great. Perfect, straight cuts exactly where you want them.

Slide cutter from Kaiser. If you use scissors, use very short bladed ones, 1" moustach trimmer. back light the film strip. Long wide blades cast shadows messing up the job.
