Abstract
In combination: a) a cutting blade assembly having a frame and a first cutting blade member with a first cutting edge portion configured to cause relative movement between components on the cutting blade assembly whereby the at least first cutting edge portion effects severance of an object; and b) a protective sheath. The protective sheath can be moved relative to the cutting blade assembly between: a) a first separated position; and b) an assembled position. The protective sheath frictionally engages the cutting blade assembly to thereby be maintained in the assembled position. The protective sheath has at least one component that projects away from the cutting blade assembly and has oppositely facing surfaces that can be grasped between two fingers on a user's one hand to facilitate repositioning of the protective sheath.
