A utility knife (10) employs a slide (16) having a cantilevered lever (138) for capturing a blade (18) therein. A leading blade in a reservoir (24) is capturable by the slide (16) using a tooth (158) resiliently affixed to the slide (16) which is positioned to enter a locking hole (82) in the blade (18). The tooth (158) may be withdrawn from the hole (82) in the blade (18) whereby the blade (18) may be removed for reversal and reinsertion or for discard. When the captured blade is removed, the slide (16) may be returned to the loading position for capturing the next blade from the reservoir. As long as a captured blade (18) is engaged by the tooth (158), the slide (16) is prevented from returning to the loading position, and the loading blade in the reservoir is prevented from advancing. |
