• a chassis, wherein said chassis defines a cavity;
• a blade having a cutting edge, wherein said blade has a retracted position in which said cutting edge is inside said cavity and a deployed position in which said cutting edge is outside of said cavity;
• a slider inside said cavity, wherein said slider has a first surface opposed to a second surface;
• a front operator inside said cavity, wherein said slider engages with said front operator to move said blade to said deployed position;
• a rear operator inside said cavity, wherein said slider engages with said rear operator to move said blade to said retracted position;
• a first spring connecting said front operator to said rear operator engaging said first surface of said slider;
