Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a housing assembly, a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing assembly, the cutting assembly being movable in a first axis, between a retracted position and an extended position, and an urging member disposed between the housing assembly and the cutting assembly. The cutting assembly includes a cutting member. The cutting assembly includes an end assembly, which is actuatable in the first axis, and a movable member that is movable relative to the cutting assembly. When the end assembly is actuated, the urging member biases the cutting assembly in the first axis toward the retracted position. When the end assembly is actuated, the end assembly moves the movable member in a second axis that is different from the first axis.

Abstract: A folding knife is described herein. The folding knife includes a release actuator that provides three knife positions: a secured closed position, a secured open position, and an intermediate unsecured position in between the two secured positions, and that opens and closes the folding knife easily and safely. A triple-purpose pivot ring provides an index finger grip, an attachment point, and a pivoting mechanism. The release actuator allows for one-handed operation. A blade holder comprises a blade lock that has two positions, one of which locks the blade into position in the blade holder, while the other position unlocks it. The blade lock may be a push button that unlocks the blade while pressing it down, and that automatically return the lock into its locked position by action of a spring, in particular a leaf spring.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a blade retaining member that is elongated in a longitudinal direction, a recess disposed in the blade retaining member, the recess having a first portion extending in the longitudinal direction and a second portion extending in a radial direction, a protruding portion that extends from the blade retaining member in the longitudinal direction, and a protrusion disposed on the protruding portion. The recess is a first attachment portion configured to removably attach the removably-attachable blade cartridge to a first cutting device. The protrusion is a second attachment portion configured to removably attach the removably-attachable blade cartridge to a second cutting device.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a housing assembly, a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing assembly, the cutting assembly being movable in a first axis, between a retracted position and an extended position, and an urging member disposed between the housing assembly and the cutting assembly. The cutting assembly includes a cutting member. The cutting assembly includes an end assembly, which is actuatable in the first axis, and a movable member that is movable relative to the cutting assembly. When the end assembly is actuated, the urging member biases the cutting assembly in the first axis toward the retracted position. When the end assembly is actuated, the end assembly moves the movable member in a second axis that is different from the first axis.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a body member having a cavity that extends from an opening at a front end portion of the body member toward a back end portion of the body member. The cutting member also has a cutting member partially disposed in a first portion of the cavity, and an insert member disposed in a second portion of the cavity. The cavity narrows in a direction extending from the front end portion toward the back end portion. A width of the first portion of the cavity is greater than a width of the second portion of the cavity.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a housing, a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing, the cutting assembly including a body member, an actuating member, and a first urging member that is configured to urge the actuating member away from the body member, from an inner position toward an outer position relative to the body member, by applying a first urging force, and a second urging member that is configured to urge the cutting assembly to retract within the housing by applying a second urging force that urges the actuating member to move from an extended position toward a retracted position relative to the housing. The housing includes at least one recess.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a first housing member, a second housing member that is removably attachable to the first housing member to form a housing, and a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing, the cutting assembly including an urging member, an actuating member, and a cutting member. The housing includes a first recess and a second recess. The actuating member includes a protrusion that is selectively receivable in the first recess and in the second recess. The urging member biases the actuating member toward the first and second recesses.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a body member, a cutting member that is removably attachable to the body member, and a cover member that is movably disposed on the body member, the cover member including a protrusion. The body member has a recess configured to receive the protrusion. The recess includes a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction.

Abstract: A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a body member having a cavity that extends from an opening at a front end portion of the body member toward a back end portion of the body member. The cutting device also has a cutting member partially disposed in a first portion of the cavity, a first urging member portion disposed in a second portion of the cavity, and a second urging member portion disposed in a third portion of the cavity. The first portion of the cavity is disposed between the second portion and the third portion of the cavity. The cutting member is removably disposable in the first portion of the cavity between the first urging member portion and the second urging member portion.
