A utility tool with at least one blade that is capable of being disposed at least partially within the body of the utility tool. The at least one blade may swivel around an access of rotation and engage with a locking mechanism to keep the blade secure when in use and secure in the body when in a closed position.

A food cutter apparatus with a blade portion and a handle portion. The blade portion is comprised of a single rigid material. The handle portion can be comprised of the same rigid material as the blade portion or a separate rigid material. The handle portion of the food cutter apparatus is located on top of the blade portion. A grater, slicer, or other kitchen tool elements are provided integral to the blade portion. A blade cover is provided to shield the user from the blade cutting edge while utilizing the kitchen tool elements. The handle portion and blade cover act as guides for the food product while utilizing the kitchen tool elements.

A food cutter apparatus with a blade portion and a handle portion. The blade portion is comprised of a single rigid material. The handle portion can be comprised of the same rigid material as the blade portion or a separate rigid material. The handle portion of the food cutter apparatus is located on top of the blade portion. In one example, a grater, slicer, or other kitchen tool elements are provided integral to the blade portion. In other examples, kitchen tool elements are provided as removable elements that can be attached to a cavity in the blade portion.

A utility knife includes a knife body that has a knife frame and an ergonomic outer casing attached to the knife frame. The utility knife also includes a retractable blade holder that holds a blade. The retractable blade holder extends out of and retracts into the knife body and may also be selectively oriented at a first angle and a second angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the knife body.

A knife, components thereof, a sheath therefor, and associated methods. The sheath may be releasably retainable on the blade by engagement of connection structure of the sheath and blade formed by inserting the blade into the sheath. The blade may include a bottle opener. The knife may include a finger recess adapted to receive a finger of a user when the knife is gripped by the user. The knife may be an ulu knife.

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.

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 pocket knife has a blade pivotally deployable on a handle formed by upper and lower handle plates. Longitudinal channel portions are formed in facing surfaces of the handle pates at their distal ends, which are shaped and dimensioned to form a socket that can engage a standard hexagonal tool bit. A magnet is provided on the root portion of the blade for retaining the tool bit in the socket formed by the channel portions. In a variant, the channel portions are omitted, the hexagonal tool bit is retained in a slot formed in the root portion of the blade, and the ends of the handle plates engage opposite flats of the tool bit.

A knife including a body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis that extends centrally through the first end and the second end. The knife further includes a first scoring tip that points in a first direction, a second scoring tip that points in a second direction opposite the first direction, and a scoring tip axis that extends centrally through the first scoring tip and the second scoring tip. The scoring tip axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A chisel extends from the second end of the body and the longitudinal axis of the body extends centrally through the chisel.

A hand knife tool has alignment markings configured on its blade to help orientate the cutting edge of the knife tool across a workpiece to make a miter cut. A transverse axis is defined perpendicular to a substantially straight middle section of the cutting edge and bisecting the two faces of the knife blade. Each alignment marking is configured on the knife blade at an angle relative to the transverse axis. Each of the alignment markings visually delineate an alignment line substantially across the knife blade between the cutting edge and the blade back. When one of the alignment markings on the knife tool is aligned to the edge of a workpiece, it places the cutting edge of the knife tool across the workpiece at a substantially congruent angle. Then the knife can be pivoted upon its edge and then make a miter cut.
