A cutting apparatus includes first and second subassemblies. The first subassembly has a first handle and a blade connected to the first handle, the blade including a proximal end portion attached to the handle, a distal end portion, and a cutting edge intermediate the proximal and distal end portions. The second subassembly has a second handle and an anvil with a knife-opposing surface. The first and second subassemblies are adapted to be manually assembled pivotally together to form a blade-and-anvil cutters and to be manually unsnapped to enable independent use of the first subassembly as a knife. The action of a user squeezing the first and second handles toward each other causes the knife-opposing surface of the anvil and the cutting edge of the blade to move toward each other in order to cut an object positioned intermediate the knife-opposing surface and the cutting edge.
