Disclosed herein are embodiments of easily disassembled folding knives. In some embodiments, a folding knife includes a blade, a handle including first and second side portions, and a pivot mechanism including respective locking elements which can be used to retain the side portions from lateral separation from one another. In some cases, the locking elements of one end of the pivot mechanism include relatively narrow neck portions with relatively wide, non-circular head portions connected to the neck portions, and the locking elements of a second side of the pivot mechanism include a recess and a corresponding non-circular opening. In some cases, folding knives can be provided with secondary locking mechanisms, liner lock mechanisms, and various other features.

A camping tool including a spatula including a blade, a spatula handle, a tongs dovetail connector arranged on a first side of the spatula handle, and a storage dovetail connector arranged on a second side of the spatula handle opposite the first side, a spoon including a bowl, a spoon handle, and a spoon connector including a spoon flange sized to be received in the tongs dovetail connector or the storage dovetail connector, a fork including tines, a fork handle, and a fork connector including a fork flange sized to be received in the tongs dovetail connector or the storage dovetail connector, and a tool including at least one of a can opener, a package opener, a bottle opener, and a vegetable peeler, and a tool flange sized to be received in the storage dovetail connector.

A cutlery device includes a blade with an attached handle. Two longitudinal edges of the rectangular blade include a sharpened edge and a non-sharpened spine on the opposite side. The blade has a rectangular fence extending substantially perpendicularly from one or both (opposite) sides of the spine, and extending to the distal end. In one form the fence curves around onto the distal end of the blade. A hole or aperture may be provided in the blade to allow transfer of prepared foods. The fence may be integral with the blade and spine, may be permanently secured to the blade, or may exist as a separate part that may be attached to and removed from the blade.

Disclosed is a manual tool capable of unfolding only one work accessory. The conventional manual tools may bring hidden risk to safety with more than two work accessories that may be unfolded simultaneously. According to the present invention, an associated accessory is arranged for a working state of a first work accessory and a second work accessory to transform from a folding state to an unfolding state; in the folding state where the first work accessory and the second work accessory are both folded, the associated accessory does not prevent any work accessory from unfolding; while in the unfolding state where one of the two work accessories is unfolded and the other one is folded, the associated accessory prevents the other one from unfolding, so as to ensure that only one work accessory can be unfolded during use, and if the unfolded work accessory is left unfolded, the other work accessory cannot be unfolded, thereby eliminating the safety risk caused by unfolding multiple work accessories at the same time.

A kitchen tool having a straight blade peeler, a gouge and a base having at least one blade for trimming a root or crown from a vegetable. The at least one blade can be within a cavity in the base or in a cavity at an end of a handle. In a further example embodiment, the at least one blade is a pair of blades configured as a scissors or as a chopper.

A lock-blade knife for cooking purposes comprises a housing, a blade pivotally attached to the housing and a locking mechanism. The blade is rotatable relative to the housing between a closed position and a least one cutting position. The locking mechanism is configured to lock the blade in the at least one cutting position. The locking mechanism comprises a biasing member, an engagement structure, and a grasping member. The engagement structure is disposed on the blade, and the grasping member is displaceable from a locking position into a releasing position. The grasping member is biased into the releasing position. The grasping member is in engagement with the engagement structure in the locking position when cutting to lock the blade in position. The blade is rotatable between the cutting position and the closed position when the grasping member is manually displaced into the releasing position.

A utility knife includes a housing with multiple interior spaces, each for holding a utility blade slidably therein. A U-shaped spring-clip has two ends rotationally fixed with the housing. A catch section of the spring clip traverses a retention slot formed in the housing. The spring clip may be pushed from an inward position into an outward position to allow the utility blade to pass from the interior space out through a slot to exit an end of the housing. When the spring clip is released with a retaining notch of the utility blade aligned with the retention slot, the retaining clip engages the retaining notch to capture the utility blade in a deployed position. Preferably the housing comprises several thin metal plates stacked together and fastened with a plurality of mechanical fasteners.
