A utility knife and methods for using the same are disclosed. The utility knife includes a handle portion, a head unit attached to the handle portion, and a blade attached to the head unit. The handle portion is made of two parts jointed together by a hinged connection arrangement. A blade support component is also included which orients the blade in perpendicular relation to a central axis of the handle. The exemplary utility knife can safely be used in many applications with a design configured to help prevent user contact with the blade's cutting edge or edges.

A double edged blade assembly includes a double edged blade. Additionally, the double edged blade assembly includes two blade grips coupled to the double edged blade. The two blade grips are coupled to the double edged blade at opposite ends of the double edged blade.

Particular embodiments of the inventive technology relate to apparatus and methods for cutting multi-layered material to reconfigure it so it may be used to construct sub-compartments in a larger storage container. The inventive technology, in particular embodiments may feature one or more of the following: dual blades, “staggered” blades (where one blade is more forward than another), a blade(s) angled upwards and forwards, blades separated in a left-right direction, prong recesses to accept trailing tips of blades, a rearwardly angled handle and/or a removed material ejection ramp, in conjunction perhaps with other features such as, e.g., a guide prong. One or more of such features may appear in the various manifestations of a defluting cutter or through cutting apparatus, whether guided or unguided, and/or manual or powered.

A cutting tool having multiple functional faces and an adjustable blade. The cutting tool may include a solid body having multiple functional faces, a blade, and a peg. The multiple faces of the solid body may include a cutting face, a gripping face, a base face, one or more securing faces and a pressure face. The cutting face may be curved and may form a receiving bay for receiving an item to be cut and may include a plurality of slots. The blade may be secured in any one slot of the plurality of slots. The peg may help to secure the blade within the cutting face. The cutting tool may also include a compartment for storing extra blades.

An interchangeable different style-blade utility knife includes an elongate handle having proximal and distal ends along a handle axis. A blade holder is provided for supporting a blade and actuating means is provided for selectively attaching and detaching the blade holder to the distal end of the handle at a parting line. A blade is supported by the blade holder and has an exposed cutting edge generally along a lower side of the handle and has a projected predetermined length along the axis. The blade holder has a support upper portion generally along an upper side of the handle and has a projected length along the axis substantially equal to or generally proportional to the predetermined length to provide support for the blade. A kit includes a plurality of blade holders each with a different style blade, each blade holder having a support upper portion proportional to an associated blade.

A utility knife includes a knife body that has a knife frame and an ergonomic outer casing attached to the knife frame. The utility knife also includes a retractable blade holder that holds a blade. The retractable blade holder extends out of and retracts into the knife body and may also be selectively oriented at a first angle and a second angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the knife body.

A tool for removing a head or knot of a cable bundling device includes a housing, an opening, and a cutting element disposed within the opening. The housing defines the opening and a funneling element is position within the opening to direct the object to be cut towards an exposed cutting edge of the cutting element. The opening and funneling element are sized and arranged to accommodate the head or knot of the cable device while preventing any undesirable articles from being exposed to the cutting edge. The funneling element includes a wedge shape to prove improved access between the cable tie and the cutting edge.

A seam cutting assembly includes a holder that has a blade slot therein, a cutting space and a hooked end extending partially across the cutting space. The hooked end abuts a wall having a wall covering being positioned in the cutting space. A blade is provided and the blade is slidable into the blade slot. The blade extends into the cutting space when the blade is positioned in the blade slot for cutting the wall covering. The hooked end is positioned beneath the blade when the blade is inserted into the blade slot to inhibit the blade from cutting the wall. A sleeve is slidable over the holder and the blade when the blade is positioned in the blade slot such that the sleeve retains the blade in the blade slot.

The present invention relates to a windshield wiper cutter for removing a portion of a blade of a windshield wiper. The windshield wiper cutter allows the user to manually engage a windshield wiper cutter along a linear path and across at least one cutter to remove a portion of the blade of a windshield wiper. In doing so, an old, uneven or damaged blade can be repurposed for future use by removing only the old, uneven or damaged portions of the blade and leaving the remaining portions of the blade intact. In the process of removing only a specific portion of the blade, the inside of the blade is now exposed and a new edge is formed. The new edge comprising a previously unused portion of the blade that effectively disperses debris and water from the windshield of a vehicle.

A scraper includes a body having a handle portion, a first clamping portion, and a second clamping portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion integrally extends from an end of the handle portion. The second clamping portion is pivotable relative to the first clamping portion. The second clamping portion includes a first coupling member disengageably engaged with the first clamping portion. The first coupling member is configured to flex when subjected to a force, thereby disengaging from the first clamping portion. A control member is disposed on the first clamping portion and is configured to flex when subjected to force. Flexing of the control member pushes the first coupling member to thereby disengage the first coupling member from the first clamping portion. A blade is removably mounted between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion.
