A sewer's multi-tool assembly for performing multiple sewing tasks with a single tool includes a pair of scissors that is hingedly coupled together for cutting fabric. A pair of magnets is provided and each of the magnets is coupled to a respective one of the scissors. Each of the magnets magnetically engages a sewing machine when the scissors are positioned on the sewing machine. In this way the scissors are inhibited from falling off the sewing machine. A pair of grips is each coupled to a respective one of the scissors for transporting the object without cutting the object. Each of the grips is spaced apart from each other when the scissors are closed such that neither of the grips impedes the scissors from closing and thusly cutting. A seam ripper is coupled to a respective one of the grips for ripping seams.

A food cutting apparatus includes first and second guide panels spaced apart from each other at a preset distance, the first and second guide panels each having a plurality of cutting slots formed downwardly at regular interval, defining a plurality of cutting guide paths to guide a cutting knife there-through to cut food products placed between the guide panels into pieces; a cutting board placed between the first and second guide panels, the cutting board having a predetermined width configured to preset the distance of the first and second guide panels by abutting the first and second guide panels against two opposing side faces of the cutting board placed there-between, thereby, enabling the user to slice the placed food products into multiple pieces using a cutting knife introduced to the plural pairs of corresponding cutting slots of the first and second guide panels; and first and second guide posts coupled perpendicularly to the first and second guide so as to guide and position the first and second guide panels at the preset distance there-between. Multiple cutting boards of different widths can be provided to place and cut different amount or rolls of the food products.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for cutting, printing or embossing a continuous sheet of material. The apparatus comprises a tool element, at least two anvils, which are co-operable with the tool element, and a phase adjustment device. The tool element is configured to have a constant surface speed during operation of the apparatus. The apparatus is adapted to receive the continuous sheet at a constant speed into the apparatus, and being adapted to output the continuous sheet at a constant speed from the apparatus. The phase adjustment device is operable to adjust a speed of the continuous sheet within the apparatus in order to adjust a phase of alternate parts of the continuous sheet to be cut, printed or embossed by each anvil as it co-operates with the tool element.

A folding knife that uses a four bar linkage mechanism to open and close. The knife can include a means of one hand opening and closing as well as a means to become latched in, and released from, a fixed position. The four bar linkage knife includes a blade, a handle, and the motion of a four bar linkage to open and close the knife. The four bar knife provides inherent safety because the four bar linkage motion can not fold onto the users hand.

In some embodiments, a utility knife and multi-point utility blade for use in the same are disclosed. The utility knife can include a blade segment separation guide (or guide) for separating detachable blade segments from the multi-point utility blade. The guide can be disposed along a handle member of the utility knife and include a channel configured to receive a distal-most detachable blade segment of the multi-point utility blade. In the event the distal-most detachable blade segment becomes dull or otherwise damaged, a user can insert the same into the channel of the guide and apply torque to the multi-point blade to snap off the distal-most detachable blade segment. A blade segment that was previously adjacent the snapped off blade segment then becomes the currently distal-most detachable blade segment. Thus a user can remove dull/damage blade segments to expose a fresh, sharp cutting edge of the multi-point blade.
