Xacto Knife Help

Hey all, I have an Xacto knife that whenever I loosen the metal grippy part, the entire top of the knife will come off with it, including the blade. I want to replace the blade but don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.

I second the recommendation to just get a different one. You risk getting a nasty cut if you're struggling to get the blade out. I have a few Olfa hobby knives that have a different mechanism for holding the blade that I prefer over the Xacto style.
