Project One - Rationale

Presenting the Slide N Glide! The new cutting knife to go with every pen, for every student pencilcase. The Slide N Glide is a redesigned cutting knife, to visually conform to the stationary in a pencilcase. Gone are days where you had to carry around a tool. The Slide N Glide is sleek with smooth edges and specifically flat and round at the cutting end to help the user cut at right angles into a material. From noticing how other stationary pieces like pens, pencils and even compasses are all available in different colours so to is the Slide N Glide. With the packaging the knife would come with 4 blades and 5 different colours to cover the slider track. This gives the user the option of what colour they want to use allowing them to personalise their new piece of stationary. The Slide N Glide is designed to take away the bulk of ordinary cutting knives that are already on the market to present to the user more everyday anytime usuable item to detract from the heavier metal and industrial-like language that other cutting knives on the market have. Overall the Slide N Glide is the friendlier more attractable option with all the same functions of a regular cutting knife.
