ABSTRACT:
A utility knife handle including a first body, or first shell, adjustably mated to a second body, or second shell, to form a blade holding portion and a blade storing portion. The first and second bodies have mating beveled surfaces adapted to align the first body with the second body when they are joined. In the preferred embodiment the first body is connected to the second body by a control knob adapted to allow for linear and pivotal adjustment between the first and second bodies. The utility knife handle is adjustable between an open position in which the holding portion and the storing portion allow the removal of any blades therein, an intermediate position in which the holding portion prevents removal of any blades therein and allows for positional adjustment of blades therein and the storing portion prevents the removal of any blades therein, and a closed position in which the holding portion prevents movement of any blades therein and the storing portion prevents the removal of any blades therein. The storing portion is adapted to receive and store extra blades in a secure manner. The holding portion is adapted to hold a blade in an operating position and to allow the blade to be adjusted between two positively locked positions. The holding portion of the first body preferably has a first key and a lower second key adapted to extend through an aperture in a blade positioned thereon and into a groove in the holding portion of the second body.
