Abstract
A utility knife includes a first housing portion carrying one of a strike plate and a sliding nut assembly and a second housing portion carrying the other one of the strike plate and the sliding nut assembly. The sliding nut assembly includes a rotatable screw and a sliding nut. The sliding nut is movable between a first position where the sliding nut is positioned behind the strike plate and a second position where the sliding nut is positioned spaced from the strike plate. When the sliding nut is in the first position, the sliding nut engages the strike plate upon rotation of the screw to draw the first housing portion toward the second housing portion.
