Other shops, such as the many Trade Authority Locations in cities and settlements all across the star systems, may also carry the Cutter in stock occasionally.

It's likely you've already picked up a Cutter during the One Small Step main story quest during early game. However, should you ever need a new Cutter for any reason, you can generally find them in Cutter Crates and on Miner Corpses in Mining Complexes at Abandoned Mines. These mines can spawn randomly on the surface of planets and moons and may require a bit of luck to track one down, but you're bound to run into them while exploring points of interest that show a Drill Icon when using your scanner.
