The blade carrier may be rotatable about the handle and may include a left and a right cap 114, 116. A blade 106 may be removably disposed within the blade carrier. The knife may further include a blade release mechanism 110. In one embodiment, the blade release mechanism may include a compression spring 118 and a lift bar 120. In another embodiment, the blade release mechanism may further include a wheel 1122. In yet another embodiment, the blade release mechanism may include a leaf spring 718 and a slide bar 720. When the blade carrier is rotated such that the knife is not in a cutting position, at least a portion of the blade release mechanism is exposed. When the blade release mechanism is activated, the blade may be removed from within the blade carrier.
