Safe and sane blade holder

It boasts a small but significant detail. When you need to change blades -- a fairly frequent exercise when cutting cardboard, matts, plastic parts, etc. -- most exacto knives require you to use your finger tips to unscrew an often-stuck collar at the top hugging the exposed razor itself. A slip can be severe. This one moves the unscrewing collar to the other end of the stick -- way way safer. And it has a nice grippy feel, cap, and roll stopper. Thank you, considerate knife.

Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
