1. A cutter blade comprising:
a first major surface opposite a second major surface;
a first side edge and a second side edge bounding the first and second major surfaces;
a planar first portion and a planar second portion, wherein the planar first portion and the planar second portion are approximately coplanar with each other;
a first row of teeth that extends laterally between the first side edge and the second side edge, wherein the first row of teeth defines a first end of the cutter blade bounding the first and second major surfaces;
a second row of teeth that extends laterally between the first side edge and the second side edge, wherein the second row of teeth defines a second end of the cutter blade bounding the first and second major surfaces; and
a bend defining a channel that extends laterally across the cutter blade between the planar first portion and the planar second portion;
wherein the cutter blade is adapted to fit within a dispensing end of a dispenser housing via a housing projection nested within the channel in the cutter blade.
