Abstract: A storage box includes a base having a bottom portion with inner and outer surfaces, and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom portion to form a storage space with the inner surface. The outer surface has a placing slot and a knife sharpener fixing portion adjacent thereto. When the user places a knife sharpener in the storage space and closes a covering plate, the whole storage box is portable. The knife is sharpened when the covering plate is detached and embedded in the placing slot while the bottom portion is orientated upward, and the knife sharpener is disposed on the knife sharpener fixing portion. The user moves a knife back and forth between the knife sharpener by one hand and puts the other hand beside the covering plate to avoid being gashed by the knife in the knife sharpening process, thereby achieving protection purpose.

Abstract: A cutter sharpener includes a base with a receiving unit, the receiving unit having a pivoting portion and a mounting portion with a positioning section; a support having a pivoting portion pivotally connected to the pivoting portion of the base, a sharpening block mounting portion and a positioning section positioned in the positioning section of the base, and a sharpening block mounted in the sharpening block mounting portion of the support.

Abstract: Provided are multifunctional folding knives for quick access to the blade and conveniently tool-securing accessory thereto. The knife comprises a blade and a handle pivotally connected to the blade. A cutout is disposed on a spine of the blade. Two or more holes are disposed in opposite relation around the cutout. A tool-securing accessory is removably secured on a spine of the blade. The tool-securing accessory comprises a base plate. A magnet is disposed in the base plate. A flange is disposed along a distal edge of an upper surface of the base plate and forming a concave opening. A semi-collar comprising a pair of arms is pivotally secured on the flange configured to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. Two or more posts are perpendicularly disposed on the base plate to removably engage the two or more holes on the spine of the blade.

Abstract: Techniques involving a kicker assist mechanism and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe a device that includes a lever coupled to a stop-pin and configured to cause deployment of a blade from a handle of a folding knife. The lever may be configured to pivot about the stop-pin in response to a push or pull force directed at one end of the lever and engage the blade with an opposing end of the lever with a force to cause the deployment of the blade. The blade may be configured to deploy in a pivotal movement from a closed position of the folding knife to a deployed position in response to the force employed by the opposing end of the lever.

Abstract: A utility knife includes a handle having a blade track system with a pivot point and a blade mounted in the blade track system. The blade includes a cutting/scraping edge extending along a side of the blade. In an implementation, the blade is shiftable between a closed configuration, where the cutting/scraping edge is enclosed within the handle, to a first open configuration, where the blade extends longitudinally outward from an end of the handle. The shift between the closed and first open configurations can occur by rotating the blade about the pivot point and in the blade track system. Also, the blade is shiftable along the blade track system between the first open configuration and a second open configuration, where the blade is located towards another end of the handle such that the cutting/scraping edge extends downwards from a bottom of the handle.
