If you look at the top center photo on this page, the one with the blue 
background, it appears to depict a handheld hotknife with a built-in 
adjustable guide that would set your angle well.

A soldering gun has to be cycled on and off every few seconds, for a few 
seconds, otherwise it overheats and burns out. Am wondering if a stainless 
steel knife blade -- four or more inches long and maybe 1 to 2 inches 
wide -- would heat up and maintain the heat adequately through the power 
cycling? Would it hold up, or would it lose its temper and become brittle 
and break?

Is there something else that would be a better, heat stable metal for the 
blade?
