<p>The present invention relates to a cutter (10) for cutting the ends from a mini blind (131) so that the mini blind (131) may be custom sized for a particular window opening. The mini blind cutter (10) includes a framework (11) which has a receiving area (24, 26) for receiving an end of the mini blind (131). A cutter blade (31) is attached to a slide bar (30) which is slidably mounted in the framework (11). The slide bar (30) includes a rack (96) engaged with a pinion gear (84) that is rotated by a ratchet handle (40). Movement of the ratchet handle (40) thus slides the slide bar (30) along the framework (11) and forces the cutter blade (31) through the end of the mini blind (131). <IMAGE></p>
