A hand-held tool (100) includes a handle (104), and a blade (102) pivotably coupled to the handle at a proximal end (105). The blade includes a plurality of apertures (116, 118, 120, 122). The hand-held tool further includes a locking member (438) is configured to detachably engage with one of the plurality of the apertures to retain the blade at an angular position relative to the handle. The locking member is provided on a bracket member coupled to the handle, the bracket member being configured to at least partially enclose the proximal end of the blade. The bracket member is spring biased such that the locking member engages with one of the plurality of the apertures to retain the blade at an angular position relative to the handle. Further, the bracket member is movable such that the locking member disengages from one of the plurality of the apertures to allow the blade to pivot relative to the handle.

The invention provides a center axis button combined liner unlocking folding knife device, comprising a frame lock component or liner lock component, which is provided with first knife handle and second knife handle; knife hiding space is formed between first knife handle and second knife handle, first through hole is formed in front end of first knife handle, and second through hole is formed in front end of second knife handle; a folding knife; it also comprises an axis unlocking mechanism, and folding knife is rotatably arranged between first through hole and second through hole via axis unlocking mechanism; when axis unlocking mechanism is pressed, folding knife is unfolded to be in a straight state in a rotating way along circumferential direction after being separated from knife hiding space; conversely, when axis unlocking mechanism is loosened, folding knife can be rotated into knife hiding space along circumferential direction.

The assisted opening knife uses hardened handle inserts to reinforce the knife handles to prevent deformation and damage to the handles due to the blade impacting stop pins upon opening. The knife includes a blade pivotally connected between left and right handle members for rotational movement between open and closed positions. The handle inserts are mounted to the handle members and are seated within a recessed area formed on the interior face of the handle members. The handle inserts securely supporting the stop pins, which seat in holes formed in the handle inserts. Due to the hardened material, the handle inserts prevent deformation and damage to the softer handle members from impact of the blade against the stop pins.

A locking structure of folding knife based on an elastic locking plate comprises a knife handle and a blade. The knife handle is provided with an accommodating groove and a locking structure; the locking structure comprises a pivot, an elastic locking plate and an unlocking button. The blade is connected to the pivot, and a guide groove is defined on the pivot; A front end of the elastic locking plate is arranged in the guide groove; the elastic locking plate is provided with a locking part, and the blade is provided with a locking groove; the unlocking button is arranged on the pivot, the unlocking button abuts against one side of the locking plate, and the pivot is provided with an elastic resetting member.

A knife includes a handle and a blade that is rotatably coupled to the handle. A locking assembly is provided and includes a lock pin, an omega spring, and a transfer bar coupled between the lock pin and the omega spring for biasing the lock pin into a locking position to lock the knife closed or open. The locking assembly may further include a supplemental omega spring on an opposing side of the knife to further assist in biasing the lock pin into the locking position. A torsion bar is also provided within the handle to provide assisted opening functionality. The transfer bar extends at least partially through the handle to locate the omega spring in the handle offset from the torsion bar. The locking assembly assists with holding the blade in the open and closed positions, while the torsion bar aids in assisted opening and closing of the blade.

A folding knife having a blade pivoted from a closed position to a manual release open locked position with a combined apertured sliding release and locking arm. The sliding release and locking arm is mounted within the knife handle on a fixed guide pin within an arm opening being spring urged there against. Arm positioning pins extends in oppositely disposed relation to one another from the locking arm providing dual frame engagement within respective guide slots therein. Arm positional projections are engaged on a modified blade shank during operation moving the locking arm back and up then releasing to slide forward locking the blade in auto open use position until manual arm engagement by the user against the arm spring and blade spring for release and transitional closure. Arm access operation is available secondarily via pin access opening in the exterior handles for alignment operation.
