Abstract (en)

A blade (41) for a knife (40) has a slot (42,43) for receiving the hooked part (44,45,46) of the free end of a tape measure. Preferably, the blade (41) has two slots (42,43). A tape measure is correspondingly adapted by having a double hook end part (44,45,46). By this means, a workman can insert the end part of the tape measure in the slot or slots so that a plaster board or the like can be cut to a desired width more easily. In addition, a handle (51) for a knife of the type having a replaceable blade (53,100) comprises a mounting portion to hold the blade in the handle. A reinforcing portion (52) extends from the mounting portion so as to lie at least partially over the top of the blade (53,100). The reinforcing portion (52) has a recess (59) into which at least part of the top of the blade locates in use.
