A Combination Carpet Row Separator and Seam Cutter is disclosed. The separator and cutter tool enables a skilled installer to accurately separate the carpet between rows and simultaneously make a high precision cut along the separated row. To improve performance, there is both a front ridge for guiding the tool along the separated row, as well as a rear ridge to prevent the tool's tendency to "fishtail." To improve performance even more, the tool has a separator tip element extending into the carpet row ahead of the front ridge to create a more definite split in the carpet along the row. To accommodate a variety of carpet types, the device provides separator tip elements in both pointed and chisel-tipped profiles. For convenience, the device has a spare blade receptacle formed within the housing to hold spare blades. Finally, the device may have a laser guide associated with it to provide additional alignment assistance to the carpet installer while cutting patterned carpets.
