The one we have is still made by Energy Beam Sciences and formerly the 
old Sorvall knifemaker design. It makes triagular knives with various 
thickness glass, and is extremely easy to use.  I don't recall the price, 
but repair service is very reliable from EBS.  We sent off an old breaker 
and had it refurbished for very little money - it was a joy to be able to 
do this.

Go to their website or contact Cindy Gaspari at this email 
address.  CGaspari@ebsciences.com.  She is a nice lady ,very helpful and 
can give you pricing, etc.
