Abstract

By providing a movable, separate, and independent blade member which is normally maintained in a stowed and hidden position, a combined, integrated, multi-purpose scissors and box cutting product is achieved. In the present invention, the combined, integrated, scissors and box cutting product incorporates two arm members pivotally mounted to each other, with each arm member incorporating a blade portion and a handle portion. In the preferred construction, the movable blade member is retained within one handle portion of one arm member of the combined, integrated, scissors and box cutting product, with the movable blade member being deployed for use only upon activation by the user. In this way, the blade member remains concealed and hidden within the handle portion of the arm member in order to prevent unwanted or accidental contact of the blade member when not desired.
