When the knife is pulled down to cut paper, the action resembles that of a pair of scissors only instead of two knives moving against each other, one is stationary. The stationary right edge of the base is also steel, with an exposed, finely-ground edge. The other end of the knife unit is a handle. Larger versions have a strong compression coil spring as part of the attachment mechanism that pulls the knife against the stationary edge as the knife is drawn down to cut the paper. On the right-hand edge is a long, curved steel blade, often referred to as a knife, attached to the base at one corner. It is typically relatively heavy so that it will remain steady while in use. It also must have a flat edge against which the user may line up the paper at right angles before passing it under the blade. The surface will typically have a grid either painted or inscribed on the surface and may have a ruler across the top.
