Claim:
A corner cutter comprising: a cutter body including upper and lower handles having a pivot securing said handles together, said lower handle having an upper blade end extending beyond said pivot and having an arcuate first blade edge secured thereto, said upper handle having a lower blade end extending beyond said pivot and opposing said upper blade end, said lower blade end having an arcuate second blade edge secured thereto, said handles and blade ends being pivotable about said pivot to provide opposing movement of said first and second blade edges between an open and closed position, said first and second blade edges being disposed in mutually opposing positions and the space between said first and second blade edges varies along the length of the edges when said first and second cutting edges are in the closed position for cutting sheets of brittle material positioned between said blade edges, and the variation in the space between said first and second blade edges adapted to engage a sheet of brittle material along a sequence of contact points providing greatest pressure at the contact edges of said first and second arcuate blade edges and a sheet of brittle material disposed between said first and second arcuate blade edges as said first and second arcuate blade edges are brought to the closed position.
