A handle (50) for removably holding a substantially planar surgical blade having a slot therein comprises a rearward end (51) to be held by the user and a forward end. An elongate tang (52) at the forward end includes a proximal end (55), a distal end (54) and a boss (56) projecting outwardly from a side of the tang (52) adjacent to the distal end thereof. This tang (52) includes a pair of opposed longitudinal grooves (57) extending from the distal end (54) to the proximal end (55) of the tang (52) wherein the grooves (57) run substantially along the interface of the tang (52) and the boss (56). The tang (52) also includes a relief recess (60) projecting into the boss (56) to a depth at least as deep as that portion of the boss (56) extending outwardly from the grooves. The recess (60) divides the boss (56) into a forward boss portion (61) and a rearward boss portion (62).
