I like the guillotine type with the replaceable razor blade. Get the
type with both the guides on the side which adjust for width, as well as
the guide in front of the blade which allows adjustment for the depth
(length) of cut. They work great for both flat as well as wedged felt.
Bill Spurlock also sells a cutting board type where the felt lays in
pre-shaped grooves for cutting. For sheet stock as well as general
cutting of any sheet felt or long strips, you may want to consider a
rotary cutter along with a good streight edge. These are available at
any fabric store.
