Abstract

A paper cutting tool is an apparatus that is used to align, measure, cut, and tear paper or other similar materials. The apparatus includes a handle which is gripped by the user during cutting. The handle also allows the user to easily maneuver the apparatus prior to, and after, cutting. A first rigid strip and a second rigid strip are connected to the handle at an angle. Both the first rigid strip and the second rigid strip include a proximal longitudinal edge and a distal longitudinal edge. The first rigid strip and the second rigid strip are connected to the handle at the proximal longitudinal edge. A cutting blade is connected to the distal longitudinal edge of the first rigid strip and is used to aid in the cutting process. The second rigid strip is used to stabilize the apparatus while the user is cutting a piece of paper.
