Abstract (en)

A detachable rear-end handle part (16) of a snap-off blade knife has a recess (30) and slot (34) which engage the front end (22) of a front handle part (14) and a used blade end-portion (28) only one way round and which, by virtue of different angles of recess walls (42, 44), allow only one direction of relative bending of handle parts (14, 16) to break-off the blade end-portion (28), corresponding to the side of the single blade surface (24) formed with the break-lines (26). Hence the blade is always bent the right way.
