For some of us, life would be very boring without it. As for your original question, I bought a brand-X hinged cutting template very early on, in the 1950s, because, in addition to bulk B&W film, bulk Kodachrome was available from the movie industry, and, in those days, Kodak (unknowingly?) would process it free if sent to them in a mailer. Several of us at W-PAFB in Dayton shared the bulk purchases, which we loaded into empty Kodak cartridges.
