20220152849 · 2022-05-19 ·

A blade retention mechanism that includes a body and a catch. The catch is configured to engage a bit. A knurled nut is configured to engage the catch and the body such that it is movable. When the nut is moved between a first position and a second position the catch moves between a first position and a second position. A v-groove is formed in the body and is configured to receive and retain a bit when the catch is in the first position.

A utility knife constructed of a lower shell (102), an upper shell (104), a retaining knob (106) and a hinge pin (108). The hinge pin (110) provides a high-strength connection between lower shell (102) and upper shell (104). Retaining magnets (110) and (112) retain steel utility blades in place when shells (102) and (104) are separated from one another. According to one embodiment, the retaining magnets (110) and (112) are permanent magnets made of an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron.

Folding knife with bidirectional actuator

A bolster-actuated folding knife may have a folding knife blade whose opening and closing is controlled by an actuator on the knife's handle. This bolster-actuator may rotate in either of two rotational directions about the same pivot as the knife blade. When a user rotates the bolster-actuator in one direction, the bolster's pin may impinge via direct contact with the knife blade forcing the knife blade fully open. When a rotates the bolster-actuator in the opposite direction bolster-actuator rotation and thus bolster pin deflection may cause the knife's locking tab to disengage from a cutout in the knife blade, unlocking the knife blade from its fully locked-open position and urging the knife blade to close. Thus, the bolster-actuated folding knife may provide a convenient means to open and close a locking, folding knife with only one hand, and without substantial interference with the knife's aesthetic appeal.
