Abstract
A triple function slitting, picking, and holding safety blade for use in the graphic arts trade; for slitting through, picking up, and holding portions of computer cut vinyl adhesive material. A slight rotation of a user's blade holding tool changes a blade's function from slitting to picking to hold-down modes with increased user safety with its restricted blade penetration and with fewer carpal tunnel stress motions required in its use. A notch within a cutting edge of and near to the apex point of a generally triangular shaped cutting blade end exposes a new cutting edge. A bend is located between the newly exposed cutting edge and the apex point to further expose the new cutting edge for sufficient clearance to slit a vinyl material's planar surface. An exterior portion of the bend serves as a blunt stylus type hold down tool which prevents any piercing of the vinyl material's surface.
