Abstract:
A folding knife, comprising:(a) a blade comprising a front end, a rear end, and an aperture extending through said blade proximate to said rear end;(b) a handle comprising two opposing scales which define a cavity therebetween for receiving at least a portion of said blade, said scales having a front end and a back end, said front ends having an aperture substantially opposing said blade aperture;(c) a linerlock positioned substantially between said opposing scales, said linerlock comprising a stopping arm operably biased to engage said rear end of said blade to substantially prevent said blade from rotating to a second closed position when said blade is in a first extended position; and(d) a pivot pin extending through said apertures in said scales and said blade, said pivot pin having a first axis of rotation for a portion of said pivot pin which extends through said aperture in said scales and a second axis of rotation for said portion of said pivot pin which extends through said aperture in said blade, wherein when said pivot pin is rotated, said blade travels in relation to said linerlock stopping arm to selectively position said rear end of said blade with said stopping arm of said linerlock.
