A scraper having an utility knife blade with an exposed elongate scraping edge wherein the entire edge is exposed and usable by a person using the scraper. The scraper has two parts joined by a hinge and held together during use by a pair of opposed magnets. The magnets also securely hold the blade in the body during use.

A tool includes a housing and a slidable blade assembly configured to move between a first, second and third positions. The blade assembly is configured to receive a removable blade, such that the blade is stored within the housing when the blade assembly is in the first position, a portion of the blade extends outwardly from the housing when the blade assembly is in the second position, and the blade is completely outside of the housing when the blade assembly is in the third position, facilitating removal from the blade assembly. The housing comprises a guide path associated with movement of the blade assembly. The guide path includes a first path portion associated with the blade assembly being in the first position or the second position, and a second path portion associated with the blade assembly being in the third position, the first and second path portions being noncontiguous.

A hair grooming device includes a body having a lower housing and a removable cover, the lower housing defining a substantially hollow cavity. The lower housing is formed of a first material. A liner is received by the lower housing in the cavity. The liner is formed of a second material, the second material is different than the first material.

A folding knife that uses a four bar linkage mechanism to open and close. The knife can include a means of one hand opening and closing as well as a means to become latched in, and released from, a fixed position. The four bar linkage knife includes a blade, a handle, and the motion of a four bar linkage to open and close the knife. The four bar knife provides inherent safety because the four bar linkage motion can not fold onto the users hand.

A self-defense pocket knife with handle of suitable proportion to be grasped in closed fist and a conveyance system configured for the emergency manual conveyance of a blade from a position for storage to a position for use without requiring the user to appreciably alter or compromise grip upon the handle during the course of such conveyance.

A culinary tool (100) suitable for both cutting and transporting food includes a tool member (101) and a handle (108). The tool member (101) begins at an asymmetrical base region (102) and tapers along a major face (103) of the tool member (101) to a distal tip (104). A curvilinear medial ridge (105) begins at the asymmetrical base region (102) and passes along the major face (103), thereby defining a cutting portion (106) and a spatula portion (107). The cutting portion (106) sometimes the distal tip and occupies less of the major face (103) by area than does the spatula portion (107). The handle (108) is affixed to the tool member (101) along the asymmetrical base region (102). The culinary tool (100) can be used in either a cutting mode or a spatula mode.
