Définition

A scissor-like instrument of iron, brass, or silver with two blades of different lengths that are riveted together. The long, lower blade is pointed and has a small box attached, and the shorter, top blade usually has a lid for the box. Small feet may be affixed to the lower blade and to the handles thus supporting the instrument when not in use. Used to remove partially burned wick (snuff) from a candle, and consequently to increase the brilliance of the flame, to stop the candle from smoking. The lid serves to press the snuff into the box and to seal the box so that the charred wick remnants do not scatter. The point of the longer blade is used to straighten a wick end to permit trimming and to remove candle stubs from sockets.
