US Patent 12005594 Pocket knife

A pocket knife includes a chassis, a surface defined by the chassis, and a blade having a retracted position in which the blade is locked inside of the chassis and a deployed position in which at least a portion of the blade is locked outside of the chassis. An actuator is slidingly engaged with the chassis to reposition the blade between the retracted and deployed positions. A stop pin is connected to the blade. An end of the stop pin extends a predetermined distance from the blade to engage with the surface defined by the chassis when the blade is in the deployed position to prevent movement of the blade with respect to the chassis.
