a rolled paper holder configured to receive an elongated section of a roll of paper within a hollow interior bounded by a sidewall having a sidewall thickness thereof, said rolled paper holder having an open front end, an open back end and a middle section between the front end and the back end defining a length along a long axis thereof;
an interstice parallel to the long axis of the rolled paper holder and running from the open front end and along at least a substantial length of the sidewall of the rolled paper holder toward the back end, the interstice defining an elongated gap formed in the sidewall of the holder and bounded by the approximate sidewall thickness of the holder and between a first edge of along a top portion of the rolled paper holder and an opposing first edge along a bottom portion of the rolled paper holder substantially facing the first edge along the top portion; and
a paper cutting knife blade disposed in the elongated gap between the first edge of the top portion of the holder and the first edge of the bottom portion of the holder and including a sharp edge that faces towards the front end of the rolled paper holder, said sharp edge configured to cut a leading edge of the elongated section of rolled paper received within the rolled paper holder.
