The candle wick clipper has two lever members pivotally attached together at an intermediate portion, and two half-barrel shaped receptacles at opposing ends of the lever members. Cutting blades are defined in the half-barrel shaped receptacles which mesh and close the end of the receptacles when the lever members are closed in order to cut the wick without dropping the residue excised from the wick.
