Abstract: A utility knife (A) having a blade (C) retractable into a handle (B) is provided with a clipper (1) for clipping a dull end segment (E) from the blade along a score line. (F). The clipper includes an insertion portion (2) which may be inserted into the knife handle when the clipper is not in use, a hanger portion (3) which permits the clipper and knife to be hung on a garment pocket, and a connecting portion (4) connecting the insertion portion and hanger portion. The connecting portion includes a slit (5) for receiving the end segment of the blade and a movable means (14) permitting pivoting of a cover member (8) relative to a body member (7). The clipper is characterized in that a storage space (6) communicates with the slit (5) for storing blade segments clipped from knife blades.

Abstract: Scissors for both right and left handed use include a front blade and a rear blade which are connected so that they may slidably pivot in relation to each other. A front handle and a rear handle are connected to front and rear blades, respectively, in such a manner that a finger receiving portion on each of the front and rear handles is allowed to take an upper or lower position, alternatively. With the finger receiving portion on the front handle taking the upper position while the finger receiving portion on the rear handle takes the lower position or vice versa, the scissors can cut with the opposing upper and lower cutting edges of the front and rear blades, respectively, or with the opposite lower and upper cutting edges of the front and rear blades respectively.
