The present disclosure relates to a safety utility knife including a blade carrier that is repositionable between a safety orientation, an intermediate orientation and a cutting orientation via an actuator that is interconnected with the blade carrier via a hingable link. Once the blade carrier is repositioned to the cutting orientation, the blade carrier is automatically returned to the safety orientation anytime a cutting action is discontinued.
