Abstract: A folding knife has a handle and a blade with a working end and a tang, the blade being coupled to the handle and pivotable relative to the handle about a fold axis between an open position and a closed position. A toggle is coupled to the handle and pivotable relative to the handle about a toggle axis, the toggle axis being located a radial distance from the fold axis. A free end of the toggle has an open lock face located a radial distance from the toggle axis. A primary lock face on the tang is located on the opposite side of the fold axis from the working end. When the blade is in the open position, the open lock face engages the primary lock face to prevent rotation of the blade toward the closed position.

Abstract: A firearm holster has a plate, a firearm enclosure configured to carry a firearm, and an elastic hinge. The hinge couples the plate to the enclosure and allows for relative motion between the plate and enclosure about the hinge. This relative motion about the elastic hinge during use allows for parts of a hand of a user to be inserted between the plate and enclosure when establishing or maintaining a grip on a firearm carried by the holster.

Abstract: A riser for spacing a firearms accessory from a firearms accessory rail has a body, at least a portion of the body having approximately the same cross-sectional shape and slot configuration as a mounting portion of the accessory rail, at least one lug depending from the body and extending laterally, the lug being adapted for insertion into a slot of the accessory rail, and a hook adapted for coupling the riser to the accessory rail, the hook extending from a lateral end of the lug. At least a portion of the hook is adapted to be longitudinally aligned with the slot of the accessory rail and adapted to engage the accessory rail by contacting the accessory rail below the associated slot of the accessory rail.
