Claim 0:
1. A cutting device, comprising:
a first housing member having an actuating aperture that extends through an entire thickness of the first housing member;
a second housing member that is removably attachable to the first housing member to form a housing, the second housing member including a pair of body member rails formed on an interior surface of the second housing member to provide a body member track; and
a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing, the cutting assembly including an urging member, an actuating member that is movably disposed in the actuating aperture, a cutting member, and a body member slidably received in the body member track, the body member being a monolithic piece having a first end formed with a cutting member holder and second end formed with a plurality of actuating member holes;
wherein the housing includes a first recess, a second recess, a third recess, and a fourth recess;
wherein the actuating member includes a first recess protrusion that is selectively receivable in the first recess and in the second recess, a second recess protrusion that is selectively receivable in the third recess and in the fourth recess, and a plurality of body member protrusions extending toward the body member from a bottom portion of the actuating member, the plurality of body member protrusions including a central body member protrusion located on a central portion of the actuating member;
wherein the urging member surrounds the central body member protrusion and biases the actuating member away from the body member and toward one or more of the first, second, third, and fourth recesses; and
wherein each of the actuating member holes corresponds to one of the body member protrusions of the actuating member and the body member protrusions are slidably received within the actuating member holes;
wherein sliding the actuating member in a first direction toward a front edge of the cutting device causes the cutting member to be extended from the housing.
