A system and method are disclosed for securing a blade to a blade post or handle base. A handle base is provided with a receiving port that includes a taper or dovetail configuration along a portion of each wall. The receiving port accepts a blade, and a cap is positioned within the exposed receiving port above the blade surface. The sides of the cap are secured within the dovetail sections along each wall of the receiving port and opposite securing ramps engage to secure the blade into position. The blade may be a keratome blade that is intended for opthalmic use, but the system and method can be used in connection with various types of opthalmic and non-opthalmic surgical knives.
