Abstract
A device is provided to protect one's fingers from abrasion and paper cuts whenever forming a creasing line. The device consists of a pair of hinged, open-ended laterally-positioned elongated arms which are capable of providing a controllable creasing pressure at inwardly-facing opposed creasing surfaces. One of the arms is provided with a finger-gripping means to enable firmly holding the device against slippage during use. The finger-gripping means can also be provided with a stiletto-type letter opener. One form of the device can be made to stand upright on a desk for ready grasping in the identical position in which it will be used, and also has outwardly-facing surfaces carrying an advertising message or logo which are easily readable when the device is placed in such upright position.
