JOAT Just pretend I'm not here. That's what I'm doing.
I've been using one similar to this for a long time. I have a ledge to act as a stop to cut the sheets in thirds. It's hanging from the wall and is used in that position so it isn't underfoot and it can't get lost. I use it 3-4 times a day when I'm turning bowls & such.

A hack saw blade does a decent job.

You beat me to it.
An old hacksaw blade can be attached to a piece of wood or bench edge so that you slide the paper under it and pull up to tear...
I keep an old pair of heavy duty scissors on hand for cutting. Cuts sandpaper, cardboard, thin sheet metal, rubber and most anything else that's flexible. Not as fashionable as a hacksaw blade, but definitely more workable.
I bought a couple of sets of these a while back. One for the kitchen, one for the shop.

I loosely screwed a hacksaw blade to an MDF scrap. The back side of the blade tears the paper nicely. The MDF has commonly used sizes marked off with a Sharpie.
