Abstract
A hand-held cutting tool includes a handle, at least one cutting head with an embedded blade, the at least one cutting head being connected to the handle, and a clip connected to the handle within a recess thereof, the clip including a resilient member extending generally lengthwise along the handle. Each of the cutting head(s) is connected to the handle at an end thereof (i.e., at one or the other of two ends of the handle along a lengthwise portion thereof). The clip is connected at a base portion thereof to the handle at a location within (e.g., an interconnection location or juncture of) the recess. The clip is only connected to or in contact with the handle at the location independent of whether the resilient member (of the clip) flexes or otherwise repositions in relation to the base portion of the clip.
