Abstract (en)
A snap-off blade knife (110, 210, 310) has a two-part handle (112, 212, 312). One handle part (114, 214, 314) has a conventional slider (122, 222, 322) for extending and retracting the blade (120. 220, 320). The second handle part (116, 216, 316) is separable from the first handle part (114, 214, 314) and has a slot (130, 256, 330) leading into a compartment (126, 254, 326). In use, to break-off a used end-piece (128, 260, 328), it is introduced into the slot (130, 256, 330) and the two handle parts (114, 214, 314, 116, 216, 316) are manipulated to break it off, whereupon it falls into and is retained in the compartment (126, 254, 326).
