A pivot pin and a locking pin are provided for engaging a pair of through-openings in both the handle and the blade to allow the blade to be secured in an operative position. The pivot pin and the locking pin are connected to a gripping member by a linkage.

A locking mechanism on each of the pivot pin and the locking pin engages the handle to secure the pins in the handle. The lock pin is be removed to allow rotation of the blade around the pivot pin. Both the lock pin and the pivot pin are removed to exchange one blade for another.
