I think you guys didn't catch that OP is looking for a knife that uses single edge RAZOR blades, not utility knife blades.
Would you consider the Nifty Cutter a step up? Mine is just great.

Yeah, if I understood the OP, he's not looking for a folding utility knife.
I've got both styles in the attached ebay pic (correct me if this isn't what you're looking for). The smaller all chromed steel slider is fine for kitchen drawer duty cutting packing tape, zip ties, and whatnot. The larger wood- handle version seems like it would be great cutting cloth or paper with a straightedge on a mat, but I don't use mine- it's squirreled away in a box somewhere at the moment. I've still got a ton of blades left.
ETA, I don't use it because almost always I've got a utility knife (non- folding for me thanks) with a fresh blade handy, which works fine for me.
FWIW, when I was painting years ago I used a basic sliding scraper for utility knife stuff, and it worked fine, with the advantage of having the entire edge exposed. If a corner was roached from cuttting against a hard surface, the middle could still cut thin plastic sheet, tape, etc.

Pretty sure I have a few spare wood handled ones like the ebay pic if you are interested in that style...

Here is a link to the Stanley one I have: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-1-1-2-in-Razor-Scraper-28-500/202262010
Pretty robust and all metal construction - does a good job.
I have considered this similar one available from Garrett Wade which has some additional rubberized edges and looks to be heavy duty (but not done so yet...): https://www.garrettwade.com/canadian-made-razor-blade-scraper.html
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Unfortunately a step up from simple box cutter is also a step up from single edge razor blades.
Many years ago I had a rubber (or plastic) sleeve that fit over the simple box cutters. Might be a nice little 3-D printer project.

I know it’s not what you asked but I have switched to the snap blade knives. Just used one to cut drywall for a bathroom remodel. Worked better than I thought it would.
