The blade is heated by resistive heating wire attached along a groove on each side of the blade. The blade is mounted in the support by an over-molded plastic strip which engage s into a slot in the support as a wedged fit. A control circuit board is encapsulated on the top edge of the blade and connects to a battery pack is carried in the rear towe r of the support. The blade is attached to the support by a screw for pulling the bla de longitudinally of the blade and to draw an inclined wedge member formed by t he over-molding into its receptacle.
