Abstract: A cutting and scraping tool has a molded, one piece body having a first portion to be held by one hand of the user and an integral blade receiving and holding portion. The blade receiving portion has a first wall which is thinner than the first portion and establishes a shoulder at the junction of the two portions. The first wall has an extension at one end which includes a section of approximately the size and shape of the first wall and a flexible connecting web enabling the section to become a second wall when folded against the first wall then to define a blade holding slit the bottom of which is the shoulder and which is dimensioned to accommodate a blade with one edge exposed. One end of the slit is closed by the web and the other ends of the walls are releasably connected to permit blade placement and removal. A blade within the slit is held against movement by bosses on one wall passing through openings in the blade and into sockets in the other wall.
