My favorite tool for tearing down large sheets of paper is an old butter knife with a nice thin (but sturdy) blade.

With their carved iridescent mother-of-pearl handles and silver plated thin blades these beautiful antique knives make my humble blade feel pretty underdressed, these will slice through sheets with extra style!

These are about 8” long. They show some age on their silver-plated blades, but all are sturdy and ready to work! You will receive one of these knives, group shot is for comparison.

Other than cleaning up the blade edge and polishing these knives I have not altered them from their original state, what could I add to improve them?
