The handheld cutting tool variants disclose improvements to the handheld cutting tool of U.S. Pat. No. 11,426,888B1/application Ser. No. 17/704,935. The handheld cutting tool variants deploying a razor blade have enhanced cutting made possible by either modifying portions or eliminating portions of the blade holder nosing which in turn is made possible by deploying either one of two newly disclosed blade restraint mechanisms. As with application Ser. No. 17/704,935/U.S. Pat. No. 11,426,888-B1, the tool is comprised predominantly of a handle body, a blade holder assembly which serves to deploy and constrain a replaceable blade and a rotational control assembly actuated by the user that enables the blade holder to rotate between retracted and a plurality of extended positions.

Present embodiments related to a filet knife. More specifically, but without limitation, the present embodiments relate to a folding filet knife which is moveable between an extended position and a folded position. The blade has a length that is greater than the length of the handle. The filet knife has a handle with a second structure, for example a clip that can receive a portion of the blade that extends beyond the handle when the blade is in the folded position.

A folding knife apparatus including a blade portion; and a handle portion including a flexing plate connected to a base portion; and a piece. The blade portion may be connected to the handle portion so that the blade portion can rotate with respect to the handle portion when the flexing plate is in alignment with the base portion; and wherein the piece is configured to be placed in a state which prevents the flexing plate of the handle portion from moving into alignment with the base portion, and thereby prevents the blade portion from rotating with respect to the handle portion. The piece may have a J-shaped portion, at least a part of which is inserted between the flexing plate and the base portion of the handle portion to prevent the flexing plate of the handle portion from moving into alignment with the base portion of the handle portion.

A knife includes a blade, a first handle having pivotably coupled to the blade, a second handle pivotably coupled to the blade, the second distal end of the second handle defining a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism, a latch pivotably coupled to the second distal end portion and supporting a locking pin, the locking pin configured to selectively engage each of the first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism separately, wherein the first handle and the second handle are each selectively repositionable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position, the first handle and the second handle extend away from the blade, and wherein in the closed position, the first handle and the second handle extend along the blade.

A folding knife including a blade assembly; a first plate; a first member; a spacer connected to a first end of the first member; and a first button connected to the first member between the first end of the first member and an opposing second end of the first member; wherein the spacer is configured to be inserted into a slot of the blade assembly to lock the blade assembly into an open orientation with respect to the first plate. The first member is configured to be rotated with respect to the first plate by the first button to allow the blade assembly to be unlocked. The first plate has an arcuate slot; wherein the arcuate slot is located closer to a first end of the first plate than to a second end; and wherein the first button is located between the arcuate slot and the second end.

An ingenious folding knife unblocked with a button is provided, including a knife handle and a blade; the knife handle is provided with an accommodating slot; the blade is mounted in the accommodating slot; the blade is provided with a rotating through slot; the rotating through slot is provided with a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot; a shaft lock piece is arranged on the knife handle; the shaft lock piece is provided with a first pillar body; the first pillar body is connected with a spring; and the first pillar body is selectively positioned in the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot. The folding knife has an ingenious overall design, works stably and reliably, and is folded and unfolded smoothly.

A utility knife includes a handle base and a neck connected to the handle base for pivotal movement relative to the handle base between a closed position and an open position. The knife also includes a utility blade holder slidingly carried by the neck for sliding movement relative to the neck between a retracted position and an extended position. A utility blade is carried by the blade holder such that movement of the utility blade holder between its extended and retracted positions moves the utility blade between an exposed position in which a cutting edge of the blade is exposed, and a protected position in which the cutting edge of the blade is protected by the neck.

A folding knife includes a handle and a blade. The handle includes a first side member, a second side member, a connector, and a locking member. The first and second side members are pivotably coupled to the connector such that the first and second side members are pivotable relative to one another. The blade includes a pivot member extending laterally from a surface of the blade, and the pivot member is disposed between the first and second side members. The locking member of the handle is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position, the first and second side members of the handle are pivotable relative to one another and can disengage the pivot member of the blade. In the locked position, the first and second side members are restrained from movement relative to one another and engage the pivot member of the blade.

A utility knife including a handle, a blade, a first blade holder, and a spare blade holder. The spare blade holder is pivotal with respect to the handle between an open position where the recess is exposed to allow a spare blade to be removed from the spare blade holder and a closed position where the recess is within a slot of the handle to inhibit removal of the spare blade from the spare blade holder. The spare blade holder further including a cam surface and the cam surface of the spare blade holder engages a cam surface of the handle when the spare blade holder is in the closed position to urge the spare blade holder in a direction from a first longitudinal side of the handle toward a second longitudinal side of the handle to allow the first blade holder to pivot between extended and folded positions.

A knife includes a handle defining a slot having a first portion and a second portion, a blade coupled to the handle, and a locking assembly configured to secure the blade within the handle. The locking assembly includes a lock button configured to translate between a first position proximate the first portion of the slot and a second position proximate the second portion of the slot, wherein a spindle is configured to translate within the slot, and a spring arm configured to bias the lock button, wherein the spring arm biases the lock button towards the first position while the spindle is within the first portion of the slot and biases the lock button towards the second position while the spindle is within the second portion of the slot.
