Abstract
A knife has a handle, a blade joined to the handle and having a blade back, and a fabric cutter integral with the blade. The fabric cutter includes a fabric cutter body extending laterally outwardly from the back side of the blade, with the outwardly extending margin of the fabric cutter body defining a fabric cutter back. A finger extends rearwardly at least about 0.2 inches toward the handle from the outward margin of the fabric cutter body. The finger and the blade back are substantially parallel to each other and separated by a distance of from about 0.100 to about 0.150 inches to form a fabric cutter slot having a cutting edge at its bottom.
