A surgical cutting tool including a first jaw and a second jaw operably associate with the first jaw such that the first jaw and the second jaw are movable relative to one another between an opened position and a closed position. A cutting member is movably attached to the first jaw so that the cutting member extends from the first jaw towards the second jaw, and an actuating mechanism is operably associated with the cutting member so as to cause the cutting member to move relative to the first jaw.
