Stop Cutting Wavy Edges With Scissors!
One Stroke and the Edge Is Straight
Scissors wander off the line. A knife and a straight edge hold up until somewhere near the end, and then you feel it slip. This brings a steel blade down the full length of the rail in a single movement, so the cut is over before it can drift. Push the handle down, lift it, and your paper comes out with one clean edge.
The Same Size, Sheet After Sheet
A square grid is moulded into the base, with a scale running along both long edges. Line your paper up once and every cut after it lands in the same place. There are no pencil marks to rub out afterwards, and no measuring twice because the ruler shifted while you were holding it down.
Hands Nowhere Near the Blade
A clear press strip runs the length of the rail. Lay a flat hand on it and it pins the sheet while the blade comes through, so the paper cannot shift and your fingers stay behind the guard. When you have finished, the handle clicks into a latch on the base and the blade stays shut until you want it again.
What You'll Cut
It Lives on the Desk, Not in a Cupboard
Low, flat and heavy enough to stay where you put it. Rubber feet under the corners stop it walking while you cut, and it takes up a strip of desk rather than a corner of the room, so it can sit out where you work instead of being fetched.
