Abstract: A carpet cutter for concurrently cutting a pair of overlapping carpet portions lying on a floor, comprising a body, flat longitudinally extending base plate extending downward from the body and adapted to be drawn across the floor, and a handle extending upwardly from the plate for drawing the plate across the floor. Upper, lower and intermediate, elongated guides are spaced vertically below the handle and above the undersurface of the base plate forming a pair of vertically spaced, one-above-the-other, parallel, upper and lower, horizontally extending, longitudinal slots between the guides. A pair of overlapping carpet portions are respectively positioned in the slots.
