Tools that fold, crease, trim and cut paper and board, from the bone folder that sets a crisp crease to the board shear and paper cutter that slice a stack in a single stroke and the paper knife that opens folded pages. A tool belongs here when its cited source describes it as used to cut, fold or crease paper or board. It excludes the pens and inks of writing and the moulds and beaters of papermaking. They serve bookbinders, card makers, paper folders and printers, who often share the same few simple tools.
