A combination T square and cutter comprising a main segment formed in a long planar rectangular configuration with parallel long side edges and parallel short side edges. The main segment includes a centrally located long rectangular aperture which extends the majority of the length of its long sides. The long side edges of the aperture include an undercut groove. A cross bar is formed in a planar rectangular configuration with parallel short edges and parallel long edges. The central portion of the bar is coupled to the lower surface of the main segment. A slide base is formed in a planar rectangular configuration with parallel long edges, parallel short edges, an upper surface and a lower surface. The short edges of the base are adapted to fit within the grooves in the aperture of the main segment. The base includes a coupling device on its upper surface. A knife holder is formed in a curved boat-like configuration with upwardly extending side walls, one large open end, one smaller closed end, and an open top portion therebetween. The holder is formed in a downwardly angled configuration with the small end positioned at the lower end. The small end also includes a slot extending from its edge downward a short distance. The holder is positioned upon the slide base and includes a coupling device at its lowermost extent which permits rotation and locking of the holder.
