Old style manual paper shear

[gwest77]

I'm looking for a paper shear like the ones I used back in my younger school days. A little description here, It would have one large metal blade capable of cutting through a small stack of printer paper or heavy cardboard and have at the least a 24" cut. This is not a good pic I posted but gives an idea of what I'm looking for.

24" cut is pretty big, I think mine is about 16". I also don't want to get rid of mine, I use it regularly.

I'll keep an eye out for you.

I use an 18" and two 12" models in the shop every day. I have found the best prices on Amazon.com. Avoid the Chinese sheet metal models (like the ones at Harbor Freight), or the Wescott Trim Air.
This one should do well: https://smile.amazon.com/Premier-Heavy-Duty-Trimmer-Sheets-PREW24/dp/B0006HUO4O/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1479682896&sr=8-8&keywords=24"+paper+trimmer

Wow! I had no idea that they were that expensive. I picked mine up secondhand, and paid about $5.00.
