    Abstract: A folding tool assembly rotates a folding tool that is pivotally coupled to a handle of the folding tool assembly either into the handle in a closed configuration or out of the handle in an open configuration about a pivot point. The folding tool assembly may include a spring comprising a fixed end and a free end, wherein the spring is disposed within the handle, and the fixed end of the spring is affixed to an end of the handle. The free end of the spring is configured to engage a tang of the folding tool. The initial amount of force applied to rotate the folding tool to the open configuration from the closed configuration is less than the initial amount of force applied to rotate the folding tool to the closed configuration from the open configuration.
