At home, I assemble my lames from popcicle sticks (the leavings from my
daughter's after-dinner treats over the summer, well-washed), some Krazy
Glue (ask for it by name!) and a box of 100 double-sided straight razors
that I bought for $5 at a corner convenience store (they call them "Spas" in
Boston, I know not why).

These poor-man's lames work well enough. But while I was visiting my parents
over the holidays, I had none of the above. So I used a fairly heavy, wet
serrated knife. Worked just as well!

If you don't wash the sticks, you could possibly get away without the
Crazy Glue?! :-)
