Abstract
A knife includes a handle body defining an interior blade-slide cavity housing a blade slide carrying a blade with a cutting edge. The blade slide is reciprocated within the blade-slide cavity between a blade-storage position in which the cutting edge is housed within the handle body and at least two blade-protruding positions in which the cutting edge protrudes to the exterior of the handle body, through a forward-end opening, to disparate extents. Blade-slide reciprocation is facilitated by a blade-slide actuator that includes a button reciprocable along an actuator slot defined through the handle body. A handle-body undulated surface defined along the handle body in the vicinity of the actuator slot is configured for selective mechanical interference with a button undulated surface in order to define the at least two blade-protruding positions. A blade-protruding position is temporarily maintained through a user's depression of the button to maintain the selective interference.
