I was browsing hardware store shelves and found a 5 pack of 4inch scraper tool refill blades in the painting/wallpaper section for 3 dollars. These are straight blades 4 long by 1/2 inch wide.
Place the paper to be folded on a flat smooth hard surface. Put the blunt side of the blade (or thick steel straight edge or steel block) along the fold line of the sheet to be folded.
You can clamp the straight edge in place with a C clamp if the blade or block is near work surface edge, or hold the straight edge down with one hand. Slide a scraper blade sharp edge first under the paper sheet up to the block and pivot the blade up towards the straight edge folding the paper.
To fold a part with its blank side up, prick the ends of the fold line with a pin, turn the paper over and line up the straight edge with the pin holes.
Hardware stores and cooking stores have lots of things that can be re-purposed as paper modeling tools.
