Patent attributes
A knife includes a blade and a handle assembly. The handle assembly is rotatably coupled to the blade, and extends along a longitudinal axis. The handle assembly includes a side frame, a handle frame, a locking arm, and a guard. The handle frame is spaced apart from the side frame and defines a cavity with the side frame. The locking arm is coupled to the side frame and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking arm is defined by an arm length. The guard is coupled to the side frame, and is positioned outward from the locking arm relative to the longitudinal axis. The guard overlays at least a portion of the locking arm along the longitudinal axis, and is defined by a guard length. A ratio of the guard length to the arm length is greater than seventy-five percent.
