  • Patent number: 8966771
    Abstract: An out of front knife with an assisted opening mechanism has a handle, a blade mounted in the handle, a thumb stud that drives the blade, and an extending assembly that assists with extending the blade out of the handle. With two sliders and two springs of the extending assembly, only when the blade is intentionally pushed to move a preset distance and overcome a preset resistance, one of the springs pulls and assists the blade of the out of front knife to extend out of the handle. Therefore, the out of front knife with the assisted opening mechanism is used safely.

  • Publication number: 20140101943
    Abstract: A retractable knife with a multistage positioning function has a handle, a blade slidably mounted in the handle, and an operating assembly connected to the handle and the blade. The handle has a guiding panel with a guiding hole and multiple pairs of positioning recesses formed in an inner sidewall defined around the guiding hole. The operating assembly has a guiding rod with a positioning head selectively engaging between one of the pairs of the positioning recesses. The blade is capable of protruding out of the handle with a multistage function for the convenience of using the knife. Since a resilient element pushes the guiding rod to allow the positioning head to abut the guiding panel, the blade does not easily slide out of the handle, so the knife can be used safely.

The rope recess is obliquely formed in the top of the blade adjacent to the screwdriver head and has a severing edge. The peak segment is formed on and protrudes from the top of the blade near the middle and adjacent to the rope recess. The engaging mouth is formed downwardly in the top of the blade between the peak segment and a rear end of the blade and has an engaging hook.
