ABSTRACT:
A hand-held slitting device for slitting open a package having a sealed edge, the hand-held slitting device having an insertion slot and a pointed blade protruding into an insertion slot. The package may be inserted into the insertion slot so as to bring a surface of the package against the pointed blade, and slit open by manipulating the package and the slitting device so as to cause the pointed blade to pierce the sealed edge and to cut through the sealed edge as the package is withdrawn from the insertion slot. The slitting device comprises a main body section of a size that is convenient to be grasped by a user's thumb and fingers, an arm section extended from the body section and provided with an inwardly extending end protrusion, and a slitting blade provided with an exposed sharpened cutting edge. The slitting blade is mounted by the body section in a way such that its sharpened cutting edge is inclined forwardly to end at a tip that is disposed adjacent to the end protrusion. There is a space between the blade tip and the inner side of the arm section that is sufficient to enable a sealed edge of a package to be inserted in the space to bring the blade up against the blade tip.
