Patent attributes
A pocket knife includes a chassis that defines a cavity. A blade having a cutting edge has a retracted position and a deployed position. A slider inside the cavity has a first surface opposed to a second surface. A front operator is inside the cavity, and the slider engages with the front operator to move the blade to the deployed position. A rear operator is inside the cavity, and the slider engages with the rear operator to move the blade to the retracted position. A spring connects the front operator to the rear operator along the first surface of the slider. A longitudinal recess is defined in the chassis. A first boss extends radially from at least one of the front operator or the rear operator and slidingly engages with the longitudinal recess in the chassis.
