A cutter apparatus includes a housing and a blade holder coupled to the housing, wherein the housing includes a distal portion (e.g., a blade storage compartment) that is both slidably and pivotally coupled to portions of the housing and configured to serve as a cover for the blade holder. The cutter apparatus can also include a cover release device configured to facilitate repositioning the cover between a locked position at which the cover is secured to the housing and a released position at which at least a portion of the cover is free to pivotally reposition away from the housing providing access to the blade holder.

According to one embodiment, the stacked body includes a plurality of stacked units and a first intermediate layer. Each of the stacked units includes a plurality of electrode layers and a plurality of insulating layers. Each of the insulating layers is provided between the electrode layers. The first intermediate layer is provided between the stacked units. The first intermediate layer is made of a material different from the electrode layers and the insulating layers. The plurality of columnar portions includes a channel body extending in a stacking direction of the stacked body to pierce the stacked body, and a charge storage film provided between the channel body and the electrode layers.

There is provided a blade with high safety and ease, which is suitable for use with a cutter knife, as an item before step-up to an ordinary cutter knife used by an adult. In the blade of the present invention, almost all portion of a cutting edge which actually cuts an object is covered with a cover member, such that safety during handling the same is significantly high. Further, even when a blade body is made of metal, a cover member made from resin would reduce metal portion visible from outside, and thus reducing fear at a look.

An ergonomically designed, auto-retracting utility knife that can safely remain in the user's hand while performing non cutting tasks. This invention allows a person to continue with the jobs they were performing by having the ability to use both hands and not having to set the utility knife down between manual tasks, thus saving time and increasing efficiency. An auto-retracting blade decreases the risk lacerations and other hand/wrist injuries to the user and others during routine use of the knife.

A malleable handle for use in conjunction with a cooking device (or integral to the cooking device) may include an outer surface adapted to conform to a user's hand(s) during use. A user may grasp the malleable handle with his/her hand(s) and the pressure from the user's grip may deform the malleable handle thereby creating an ergonomically-shaped handle customized to the user's hand(s).
