    Just wondering how you take the blade out? I'm afraid to pull on it hard if that's not the way it works. I don't want to break it. Is it as simple as a hard tug?

    bisco's advice is good. Hold the key pod with your left hand and with a finger on the curved portion of the button. Pull to your right with your right hand. It will come out.
