In my experience, a Stanley* knife with a new blade against a steel straight-edge makes a pretty good job of cutting veneer as well as most thin materials.
*Other brands of craft knife are available, but in my humble opinion they're not as good. Stick to the original branded blades too, as some cheap generic copies are actually smaller and lose their sharp edge much more quickly.
