Spiral cut craft tool

A straw cutting spiral cut craft tool comprising:

• a housing having a cutting guide;
• and
• a cutting edge coupled to the housing, the cutting edge projecting into the cutting guide and being adapted to cut a spiral cut in the straw;
• wherein, the cutting guide is adapted to constrain a hollow straw having a centerline from lateral movement at the cutting edge while allowing a user to select revolving, either the cutting edge or the straw about the centerline to cut the spiral cut in the straw, and the cutting guide has contact surfaces that channel the straw in a direction to the cutting edge, and
• wherein the cutting guide further comprises a secondary component slideably coupled to the housing, wherein the secondary component is movable relative to the contact surfaces that channel the straw to further guide the hollow straw to the cutting edge in a different direction, than the direction the straw is channeled by the cutting guide and wherein the angle between the cutting edge and the centerline is changeable when the secondary component is slid relative to the housing;
• and the cutting edge and the cutting guide being non-movable relative to each other during the cutting, which includes inserting the hollow drinking straw into the cutting guide, the cutting, and the removal of the hollow drinking straw.

A straw cutting spiral cut craft tool comprising:

• a cutting guide adapted to constrain a hollow straw having a centerline from substantial lateral movement;
• a cutting edge projecting into the cutting guide, the cutting guide guiding the hollow straw during insertion to the cutting edge;
• and
• a secondary component moveable relative to the cutting guide, the secondary component being adapted to further guide the hollow straw during straw insertion to the cutting edge;
• wherein an angle between the straw and the cutting guide is changeable when the secondary component is moved relative to the cutting guide, wherein the cutting edge is adapted to cut a spiral cut in the hollow straw;
• and the cutting edge and the cutting guide being non-movable relative to each other during the cutting, which includes inserting the hollow drinking straw into the cutting guide, the cutting, and the removal of the hollow drinking straw.

A hollow drinking straw cutting spiral cut craft tool comprising:

• a housing for a hollow drinking straw having a cutting guide, the housing being sized and shaped to be handheld;
• and
• a cutting edge coupled to the housing, the cutting edge projecting into the cutting guide and being adapted to cut a spiral cut in the hollow straw;
• wherein, the cutting guide has a straw contact surface disposed to substantially surround the hollow straw inserted into the tool for supporting the straw to constrain the straw from lateral movement at the cutting edge, the cutting guide and cutting edge being arranged for allowing a user to select revolving either the cutting edge or the straw about a centerline of the straw to cut the spiral cut, and wherein the cutting guide is open or may be opened to accept the hollow straw laterally into the cutting straw;
• and the cutting edge and the cutting guide being non-movable relative to each other during the cutting, which includes inserting the hollow drinking straw into the cutting guide, the cutting, and the removal of the hollow drinking straw.
