The other inner plate includes a second tab that is biased into the slot opposite the first tab and has a small hard ball secured to the tab located so as to enter a corresponding hole in the blade when the blade is fully closed. The blade can be opened by manually rotating the blade with sufficient force to overcome the tab biasing force.

Abstract: This invention discloses an improved configuration for a hand propelled throwing projectile, combining elements of a throwing knife, a spear, a dart and an arrow. It includes a sharpened and pointed blade, a flight-stabilizing conical tail of flexible filaments, a rigid shaft between the blade and tail, and a blade holder between the blade and shaft which has a mass in relation to the entire projectile so that the projectile's center of gravity is located within the grip portion of the blade holder, which is contoured for gripping and throwing by at least two fingers. The projectile is thus gripped at its center of gravity, and the thrower's kinetic energy is imparted to it in the most efficient manner, as if the entire projectile were a mass point. The projectile is more easily thrown with accuracy and more reliably impaled in its target by users with minimal training and experience than a traditional throwing knife.

Abstract: A knife handle formed of two diverse materials includes a frame of rigid, thermosetting plastic having external surfaces and an elongated, internal cavity. A somewhat rubbery, resilient material covers portions of both the external surfaces and the cavity walls of the frame.

The resilient material covers all four walls of the cavity from the open end for a portion of its length, and covers only the two longer sides within the main body of the frame. A tang extending integrally from the knife blade is inserted into the cavity, contacting only the resilient material, with interference fit, within the cavity. Assembly is completed by inserting a rivet through aligned openings in the tang and handle, the handle openings being entirely surrounded by the resilient material.
