is there an instrument to cut print making paper, and get these jagged edges on the borders?

called a deckle edge. Just hold a straight edge "That's got some weight to it" and tear from the top down. It takes some graft to get it done well so don't expect a perfect deckle every time. It helps me to crease the edges of the top and bottom of the line you're going to tear. Helps register the line you're tearing.
welcome to traditional printmaking.

you know.. im amazed how many people don't know this.... this was the first thing I was taught in my first print making class.
Its really simple, and easy, yet i guess no one teaches it.
