recommendation for brand/tpi very welcome.

I sometimes cut the parts still attached to the sprue so the 'normal' length ones look to me cumbersome. Also for canopies and very narrow strips, though I tend to use a razor blade for the latter

Thanks in anticipation

I use photo-etch stainless steel blades. They fit into a Swann Morton or Xacto knife handle. A fret of six or eight blades have various tpi and shapes. They've lasted me a very long time.
If I can I'll find a link to someone who sells them

edit; here's one place, W.Hobby in London.

Thanks FredK

Does anyone have experience of the JLC razor saw? Know where to purchase it from?

I read this review:

I have one and it is tops. Paper thin cut lines and rather durable considering the thinness of the blade.

Recommended. Got mine from John himself with a spare pack of blades.

I have the JLC (UMM) saw blades but not the handle - very good.
There's a Hasegawa Tri-tool set also - different blade shapes, good for getting in tight spots - but harder to find.

You can order direct from Jon (UMM).

Zona from the USA, nice handle got mine from aeromodeller shop.

I echo the recommendations for the JLC razor saw. It's as natural and easy to use as any craft knife.

I echo the others the JLC Saw is the best thing since sliced bread.

Bought one from Little-Cars
Thanks everyone for your thoughts
