Abstract
A utility knife with a lockable blade is provided. The blade is selectively extended from a housing with a sliding mechanism. The blade is interconnected to a blade carrier that includes a portion configured to lock the blade in a deployed configuration. The blade carrier includes a deflectable portion that is selectively biased by the release button to unlock the blade from the deployed state. Spring force associated with a biasing member interconnected to the blade carrier draws the blade into the housing when the release button is dispersed.
