ABSTRACT:
A utility cutter includes a housing, a blade and blade shuttle, a blade trigger, and a trigger lock. The blade and blade shuttle are enclosed within the housing in a retracted position. The blade is extended from the housing in an extended position. The blade trigger includes a cavity and is coupled to the housing. The blade shuttle is conveyed from the retracted position to the extended position when the blade trigger pivots from a rest position to an engaged position. The trigger lock includes a projection and is accessible at the exterior of the housing through the blade trigger. The trigger lock is coupled to the blade trigger and the projection is in contact with the stop pin when the blade shuttle is in the retracted position. The blade trigger is pivotable from the rest position to the engaged position when the projection is released from the stop pin.
