Abstract: A circular saw guide is provided having an upper frame member with a plurality of angular indicia on an edge thereof. A lower frame member is pivotable relative to said the frame member. The upper surface of the lower frame member is adapted to receive a workpiece to be cut thereon. A pivot member is provided for selectively preventing or allowing pivoting of the lower frame member relative to the upper frame member. The upper surface of the upper frame member is adapted to guide the footplate of the circular saw. By pivoting the lower frame member relative to the upper frame member, the edge of the workpiece can be aligned with a desired indicia, which is indicative of the angle that the board will be cut. A method of cutting a workpiece at a desired angle is also disclosed.

Abstract: A letter opener writing instrument device comprising a writing instrument, a pocket clip affixed to the instrument, and a cutting edge operatively positioned between the instrument and pocket clip providing for the cutting of paper by the device. The device may further comprise a spacer and/or a stopper, both affixed between the instrument and the pocket clip, where the spacer may provide space and/or an attachment mechanism and the stopper limits accessibility to the cutting blade preventing damage to a shirt pocket or the like. The pocket clip cutting unit may be provided as a separate unit for its detachable attachment to a writing instrument. A writing instrument may be a fountain pen, ball point pen, mechanical or non-mechanical pencil, marker, and stylii, such as are used with touch-sensitive screens. The sleek, slim design, of the instrument provides for its attractive and comfortable insertion into a shirt pocket.
