Abstract

A knife () has a handle () with a mount () for affixing a removable blade (). A concave surface () of the mount supports an elongate protrusion () for engaging a complementary slot () in the blade and reaches a landing () rearward of the tip that is exposed when the blade is mounted on the handle with a surface of the blade being completely supported by the concave surface. A channel () in the landing is dimensioned such that a rearmost part () thereof remains exposed when the blade is mounted on the handle. The blade is removed by inserting a curved lever () into the channel underneath a rearmost part of the blade and swiveling the lever so as to disengage the blade from the elongate protrusion.
