A folding tool with improved locking features is provided. The locking feature comprises a substantially rigid member disposed between or proximal to a handle portion of the tool. The substantially rigid member comprises a bifurcated end forming at least one biased member for contacting a tang of the tool and securing the tool in at least one of a closed and an open position with additional locking features.

A folding knife with a locking mechanism is provided. The folding knife includes a locking spring that interfaces with a recess in the blade to bias the blade from being pivoted out of the handle. A button interfaces with the locking spring to actuate the locking spring interfacing with the blade.

A folding knife includes a handle, a blade, and a locking assembly. The handle includes a keyhole and the blade includes a through-bore defining a configuration that is complimentary to a configuration of the keyhole. The blade is rotatable relative to the handle from a first, undeployed position to a second, deployed position in a clockwise direction and an opposite counterclockwise direction. The locking assembly includes a pivot receivable within each of the keyhole and the through-bore, a locking ring operably coupled to the pivot, a locking button slidably supported within, and selectively engageable with, each of the pivot and the locking ring, and a biasing element interposed between the locking button and the pivot to bias the locking button towards a first position where the blade is inhibited from rotating relative to the handle.
