Aluminum Sloping Tearing Ruler by Westcott Review

This works great even on 140lb paper and makes for elegant deckle edges. It takes a few tries to get it right (check out youtube videos on how to do it if you've never done it before), so don't practice on the good stuff. It is equipped with a handle and a non-stick net on the bottom. A very pleasant purchase. People will notice great results. We recommend

Cool stuff! I was able to make celebrity portrait cases with it. I only had about 1/4 inch of room to tear and it was still able to cut through my thick cardboard. I will say that the pointed tip is not very comfortable for your hand when trying to hold it. , especially if you need to use it often like I do. Otherwise it is very durable and does its job perfectly!

I really like this. I found some videos on YouTube where "rulers break how to use them". I also specifically looked for rulers with watercolor paper and that helped a lot. I use cardstock and 240lb watercolor paper. First I wet the paper with a water brush where I want to tear and I have great luck. I make Christmas cards, and the cards with the torn paper edges got the best response from friends who critiqued my work.
