Where on Earth would one get the blades for this kind of thing? Long, thin strips of steel - one side blunt, 'tother sharp as can be - flexible, yet strong too.

Why the fuck not?
Besides, I have things I want to make.

Lots and lots of boxes.Nairn - I'm just kidding with you, bro...

Ask a bindery. Or just walk in and take some. Most of the binders/finishers I know of wouldn’t even notice.

buy some band-aids and perhaps double-check your blood-type.

It's for demi-production purposes - I have the means to make the underlying shaper easily, but would like to know how on earth to source the 'steel cutting dies' (or whatever they're called) here in Blighty.

I’ll let you ladies sort this one out, then.

I think its called Steel Rule Die Cutting. If you google that you should find suppliers.
