ABSTRACT:
A device for trimming a candlewick trims the wick at a predetermined height above a candle. The device includes first and second elongated gripping arms that are pivotably coupled to each other at a first end. An opening is formed at the first end between the first and second gripping arms. A pair of cutting blades are arranged between and transverse to the elongated gripping arms. The cutting blades are spaced a distance away from the first end of the first and second gripping arms, the distance being equal to the predetermined height. When the first end of the first and second gripping arms is set on the candle such that the candlewick extends through the opening, pivoting the first and second gripping arms causes the cutting blades to trim the candlewick at the predetermined height.
