Abstract:

The present invention is a heated cutting tool for cutting materials with a relatively low melting temperature such as waxes, bars of soap, and foam materials. The present invention comprises of a thin metallic blade that is rigidly attached to a handle. The thin metallic blade contains a heating element within it. A mean of applying and controlling the electric current to the heating element is contained within the handle. The electricity may be supplied by conventional 110V alternating current source or from a suitable direct current source. When electricity is applied to the heating element within the thin metallic blade, the entire blade will heat up to a temperature sufficient to melt the material being cut, such as wax, a bar of soap, or foam material.
