For the 2" cuts, I'd go the x-acto route. It's what I did for a pair of sleeves I did a few years ago, and I ended up extremely happy with how they turned out. More better control kinda thing..
If you do manage to find a pinkiing chisel supplier, OMG LET ME KNOW! It was immensely depressing to find reference to a supplier of real repro type tools in TT, only to have them already gone shortly after the book was published. =( I'd so have bought a set (or three!).
For a cheater replacement option, I'd think that wood chisels would work well. I know that a lead panel is used underneath (the fabric) to help slow down the dulling that will occur over time.
