A weight-actuated or inertially-actuated hand knife includes a handle body with a blade locking button that serves to lock or release a knife blade slidably contained within the handle body. The blade locking button is pressed through a hole in the handle body. One end of the blade locking button rests against a fixed part of a plate that rests on the handle body, and the other end of the button rests against a flexible strip-shaped part of the plate, which is bent towards the blade by default until the button is pressed. The blade includes a stepped end that can abut against the end of the flexible strip-shaped part of the plate. A stop protrudes from the blade and slidably engages a longitudinal cutout in the plate as the blade moves within the handle so as to prevent escape of the blade in both the extended and retracted positions.

A folding knife includes a handle and a blade pivotably coupled to a distal portion of the handle. The handle includes first side portion including a first locking portion laterally offset from a first main body and second side portion including a second locking portion laterally offset from a second main body. The first side portion is configured to rotate about the pivot axis between a locking configuration where the first locking portion is disposed between the second main body and second locking portion, an opening in the second locking portion and a recess in the first locking portion are aligned, and a locking button is disposed within the recess and opening, thereby restricting relative movement of the first and second side portions, and a release configuration where the locking button is pushed out of the opening, thereby allowing relative movement of the first and second side portions.

A utility knife, a blade member for use therewith, and a method of using the same; The knife has an ergonomically designed, symmetrical handle with resilient grips for a user's palm and fingers provided on opposing top and bottom walls of the housing. The blade member has two opposed cutting surfaces aligned with the housings top and bottom walls. A tape engagement clip is provided on a leading end of the knife and secures a free end of a measuring tape to the knife. The knife may be gripped and used in two different orientations located 180 degrees apart. The tape engagement clip pivots to enable the free end of the measuring tape to be secured to the knife regardless of which cutting surface is used to cut an article. Alternatively, the clip may be moved to the opposing side wall of the knife.

Disclosed embodiments relate to a handle and a knife. In some embodiments, the handle includes: a handle body, a locating portion is provided on the handle body; and a handle clamp, the handle clamp including a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm and a connecting portion, the connecting portion is provided between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the first clamping arm is movably provided on the handle body and enables the handle clamp with a retraction position and an extension position. Some embodiments solve the problems in the prior art that a handle is prone to slide off from a pocket due to a bad fit between the handle and the pocket and the handle is not prone to be hidden in the pocket when the handle is clamped in the pocket.

A portable reusable utensil is provided that includes an upper casing, a lower casing, and a utensil body. The utensil body is mounted in a receiving space formed between the upper casing and the lower casing detachably connected to each other for storage and easy to carry. While in use, a service end of the utensil body is facing outwards while an assembly of the upper casing and the lower casing is used as a part held with user's hand to serve food. The design makes the portable reusable utensil more convenient to use.

The present invention relates to a safety cutter including a housing which receives a trigger, a transmission member, a pusher, a blade carrier and a blade. The transmission member is engaged operatively with the trigger via a gear assembly. The gear assembly allows the safety cutter to move the blade outward for a longer distance than conventional safety cutters. To prevent the gear assembly and the trigger rack portion from being displaced by tension generated during cutting, a first limiting member and a pair of second limiting members are provided in the housing. The blade carrier is releasably engaged with the transmission member to achieve automatic retraction of the blade into the housing after the blade leaves the cutting surface even if the trigger is not released.
