Claim:
A candle cutter comprising: a case having an outer surface and forming an inner surface defining an inner cavity; said outer surface having one or more horizontal outer surface slots and said inner surface having one or more horizontal inner surface slots; a clamping mechanism attached to said case operable to clamp a candle to be cut within said inner cavity; a cutting assembly meshing with said case and having an inner handle and an outer handle, whereby said cutting assembly can move such that said cutting assembly passes through said one or more outer surface slots and passes through said one or more inner surface slots, thereby passing through said inner cavity horizontally for the purpose of cutting said candle to be cut therein; a pivot point attached to said cutting assembly and said case; wherein said pivot point is functional to allow said cutting assembly to be pivotally rotatable; handle springs positioned between said inner handle and said outer handle that compresses as said inner handle telescopically slides into said outer handle when the cutting assembly pivots; and a locking mechanism for limiting pivotal movement of the cutting assembly when not in use.
