An utility knife includes a housing, a blade seat, a blade, and a switching assembly. The housing has a chamber, an opening formed at an end of the chamber, and a switch slot communicating with the chamber. The blade seat is arranged in the chamber and has a blade holding slot and a guiding slot communicating with the blade holding slot. The blade is detachably mounted to the blade holding slot and has at least one engaging slot. The switching assembly includes a toggle switch movably arranged to the switch slot and exposed to the housing, an engaging block disposed at an end of the toggle switch and movably arranged to the guiding slot, and a biasing member elastically biasing the engaging block relative to the guiding slot.

An auto-retracting utility cutter includes a cutter body, a handle and an access door enabling top loading of replaceable blades into an slidable internal blade carriage. The blade carriage is actuated when sufficient force is applied to a linkage connected to the blade carriage which overcomes the inertia of the linkage but is resistant to casual squeezing and prevents injury from inadvertent deployment of the blade.

The present disclosure generally relates to a cutting device, and more particularly to a cutting device having a selectively replaceable and reorientable blade. The cutting device may have a housing and a carriage that is movably disposed in the housing, the carriage being movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The cutting device may also have a cutting member that is removably disposable and reorientable in the carriage and a cover member that is removably attachable to the housing. Further, the cutting device may include an adjustable blade depth assembly providing the ability to direct and/or pre-select the depth or length a blade disposed in the blade carriage will reach upon engagement of a dial component and/or switch member operably connected to the blade carriage.

A pocket knife includes a chassis that defines a left outer surface, a right outer surface, a top outer surface, and a cavity between the left and right outer surfaces. A blade having a cutting edge has a retracted position in which the cutting edge is inside the cavity and a deployed position in which the cutting edge is outside of the cavity. An actuator in sliding contact with the chassis has a shut position that moves the blade to the retracted position and an open position that moves the blade to the deployed position. A left side of the actuator extends beyond the left outer surface of the chassis. A right side of the actuator extends beyond the right outer surface of the chassis. A top side of the actuator extends beyond the top outer surface of the chassis.

A multi tool comprising a housing, a first writing utensil, a knife and an activation mechanism, where the first writing utensil and the knife are slideably arranged in a forward portion of the housing, said activation mechanism being arranged to independently move the first writing utensil or the knife along the longitudinal extension of the front portion of the housing such that multi tool can assume one of three positions, a first position where the knife extends out of the forward portion of the housing, a second position where the writing utensil extends out of the forward portion of the housing and a third position where both the knife and the writing utensil are retracted into the housing. The housing comprises a first opening in the forward portion of the housing having a circular cross section for fitting the writing utensil and a second opening in the forward portion of the housing having a rectangular cross section for fitting the knife, said rectangular cross section having a height which is at least twice its width. In this way a multi tool is provided which has a very stable operating position in both the knife mode and the writing mode.
