A triple function slitting, picking, and holding safety blade for use in the graphic arts trade, for slitting through, picking up, and holding portions of computer cut vinyl adhesive material. A slight rotation of a user's blade holding tool changes a blade's function from slitting to picking to hold-down modes with increased user safety with its restricted blade penetration and with fewer carpal tunnel stress motions required in its use. A notch within a cutting edge of and near to a cutting edge tip of a generally triangular shaped cutting blade end exposes a new cutting edge tip, with an area between said tip locations being curvedly and or angularly bent to produce a pointed picking hook with an exterior blunt surface for serving as a material hold down tool, and wherein said bend further exposes said new cutting edge tip with sufficient clearance to slit a material's planar surface.
