A knife assembly includes a handle having a first and second handle portion each extending in spaced relationship with one another between a first and second knife end to define a working gap. A knife blade is pivotably secured to the second knife end and pivotable between a closed and engaged position. A switch button is interconnected to the handle for releasing the knife blade from the closed or engaged positions. A spacer is disposed within the working gap and extends between the first and second handle portions. A first vial of tritium is housed within the switch button and a second vial of tritium is housed within the spacer. The switch button defines an opening and the spacer is comprised of a transparent or translucent material for allowing tritium produced by the first and second tritium vials to be viewable by a user of the knife assembly.

A thumb stud for a folding knife assembly includes a body extending between a first end and a second end. A hollow passage extends between the ends, and a tritium vial is disposed within the hollow passage and extends between the first and second ends. A first lens is disposed within the hollow passage adjacent the first end and a second lens is disposed within the hollow passage adjacent the second end. The first and second lenses encapsulate the tritium vial within the hollow passage of the body and allow illumination produced by the tritium vial to be viewable through the first and second lenses to illuminate the thumb stud. In an alternative arrangement, the tritium vial can be replaced with a wafer which houses the tritium vial. In this arrangement, a pair of wafers are each disposed adjacent respective lenses at respective ends of the body.

A knife and scissors having a protection means are disclosed. The knife, which has a handle, a body extended in one direction in engagement with the handle, and a body blade formed at the bottom of the body, for performing a cutting action, includes a protrusion spaced upward from a distal end of the body, an insertion portion formed in a space between the body and the protrusion, and an upper blade formed at the bottom of the insertion portion. The upper blade cuts an object inserted in the insertion portion and the protrusion protects a human body or the object by contacting the body or the object earlier than the distal end of the body, when the body slips off the object.

The present invention discloses a multifunctional tool, wherein one blade carrier can be folded and stored in one handle, so that the multifunctional tool can be used as scissors and can be used as a utility knife as well. The blade of a blade carrier can be removed, a blade cartridge is mounted on the multifunctional tool, and spare blades can be stored in the blade cartridge. The blade can be replaced by saw blade, so that it can be used as a saw when it is in the form of the utility knife.

The present invention relates to a technical field of a tool glove combining with various tools, more particularly to a tool glove applied for construction, civil engineering, outdoor sport, agriculture, forestry, butchery, catering, fishery, husbandry or horticulture. In addition, the tool glove of the present invention can combine with various replaceable toolheads upon working demand, such as building repair, high scaffold assembly/disassembly, hitting work, mountain climbing sport, tree climbing for picking fruit, meat cutting in butchery, peeling and vegetable-fruit cutting in catering, scales removing and fish-shrimp cutting in fishery or husbandry, boring for growing flower in horticulture, earthmoving, painting by using brush or roller in painting works, so that it is not necessary for a user to carry multiple dedicated tools to complete various works.

According to one representative embodiment, a knife includes a handle having a forward end portion and a rear end portion, and a blade coupled to the forward end portion of the handle. The handle includes first and second opposing side portions, the first side portion including a cutting member at the rear end portion of the handle and the second side portion including an extension portion at the rear end portion of the handle. The extension portion extends rearwardly past the cutting member in the direction of the length of the handle. The cutting member and the extension portion are spaced apart from each other a distance sufficient to receive the side wall of the lid of a tobacco can.

Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.
