Nifty Cap
It’s possible that it’s a home or business item. However, when you’re doing arts and crafts at home or preparing for your weekly meeting, consider this. We don’t want you to slice off your fingertips. The shears have a safety mechanism built in.
The cap is for breaking off the blade’s tip when it becomes blunt. Remove the lid, slide the dull edge into the cap, then pull it back up. Bend the blade slightly across the line to break it. Presto! You’ve got a sharper razor blade! Make sure to dispose of the old one properly. Wrap it in a piece of cloth or stick it in a bottle before throwing it away.
