It certainly helps to have a wealth of knowledge kick in their ideas! Thanks guys.

I dug through my radio control stuff and found a micro servo. Its really quite small (mechanical pencil in the picture for scale) but does have a pretty great amount of holding power. I was a bit surprised about that. The gearing must be a pretty tall ratio. Anyways, I think I should be able to mount it directly inline with the lever arm that actuates the blade.
