Bolivar Rug Hooking Fabric Cutter

The Bolivar Fabric Cutter is designed for the rug hooking craft. Our goal has been to provide an easy to use fabric cutter that will give years of trouble free operation. We believe this goal has been achieved with our three fabric cutter models: Standard, Triple Base Model V, and Single Base Model V.

The Bolivar Fabric Cutter was the first on the market in 1993 with a rug hooking fabric cutting tool that uses circular shearing action to cut fabric into strips. Hundreds have been sold to satisfied customers all over North America. When you buy a Bolivar Fabric Cutter you are purchasing a solid and proven design that has delighted rug hookers everywhere.

The Bolivar Cutter has a smooth mechanism that is very easy to operate. Just turn the handle and fabric is drawn into the circular shears and cleanly sliced into precise strips of a given width.

The Bolivar Fabric Cutter is built to last. It is very rugged and sturdy being primarily built of metal components. The base, body, and key moving parts are either made from aluminum (for its lightness) or steel (for its strength). Other components are made of industrial grade nylon or brass. The Bolivar Fabirc Cutter is manufactured entirely in Nova Scotia, Canada by a skilled crafts-people who take pride in their work and are designed to give years of service.
