Abstract
A string-cutting assembly includes a container configured to hold a spool of string within an interior volume of the container. The container is substantially cylindrical. The assembly further includes a lid removably coupled to the container. At least the lid defines a first channel configured to guide a strand of the spool of string from within the interior volume to an exterior of the container. The assembly further includes a blade assembly removably coupled to the lid. The blade assembly at least partially forms a second channel configured to guide the strand to a blade of the blade assembly. The blade assembly is to retain the strand after a portion of the strand is cut.
