A package opening device having a movable member hingedly connected to a base. At such point of connection, the movable member separates a cutting area from a grip area on the base. A cutting element is provided on a top face of the cutting area of the base and is preferably comprised of a ceramic material for facilitating cutting of e.g., shrink-wrapped packaging. The movable member is pivotable with respect to the base, wherein in an open position the movable member is pivoted to expose the cutting area, and thus the cutting element. In a closed position, the movable member may be folded flat against the base to cover the cutting element, the movable member including a relief to accomodate the cutting element when closed. The grip area is provided to facilitate handling of the package opening device during use.
