US Patent 10974398 Easily disassembled folding knife

A folding knife includes a handle and a blade. The handle includes a first portion and a second portion. The blade is pivotably coupled to the handle and is pivotable relative to the handle about a pivot axis between a closed position and an open position. The first portion of the handle includes one or more dovetail-shaped projections. The second portion of the handle includes one or more dovetail-shaped slots configured to mate with the one or more dovetail-shaped projections of the first portion of the handle, and thereby restrict relative movement between the first portion and the second portion in a direction parallel to the pivot axis of the blade.
