Abstract
A boxcutter includes a handle, a blade and a holder. The handle includes a bump on an internal face. The blade is insertable in the handle. The holder is moveable in the handle between a front position to extend a front section of the blade from the handle and a rear position to insert the blade entirely in the handle. The holder includes a carrier and an elastic leaf. The carrier includes a flat space for receiving a rear section of the blade. The elastic leaf includes a rear section connected to the carrier and a front section formed with a lever and a latch. The lever extends over the carrier and the latch extends in the cutout. When the holder is in the front position, the lever abuts against the bump to deform the elastic leaf to move the latch from the cutout.
