Sewing room blade

A thread cutter is a tool or device for cutting thread, yarn, or similar fibers.

Sewing machines often have built-in thread cutters near the needle plate.

Handheld versions range from small pendants worn around the neck to spring-loaded scissors.

In machining, a thread cutter is a tool that cuts screw threads into metal or other materials.
