Patent attributes
A folding knife includes a handle and a blade pivotably coupled to a distal portion of the handle. The handle includes first side portion including a first locking portion laterally offset from a first main body and second side portion including a second locking portion laterally offset from a second main body. The first side portion is configured to rotate about the pivot axis between a locking configuration where the first locking portion is disposed between the second main body and second locking portion, an opening in the second locking portion and a recess in the first locking portion are aligned, and a locking button is disposed within the recess and opening, thereby restricting relative movement of the first and second side portions, and a release configuration where the locking button is pushed out of the opening, thereby allowing relative movement of the first and second side portions.
