Out-the-front knife

Pocket knife

A pocket knife includes a chassis that defines a cavity. A blade having a cutting edge has a retracted position in which the cutting edge is inside the cavity and a deployed position in which the cutting edge is outside of the cavity. A front operator inside the cavity engages with the blade to move the blade to the retracted position, and a rear operator inside the cavity engages with the blade to move the blade to the deployed position. A spring connected between the front operator and the rear operator provides a tension between the front and rear operators. An adjustable connection between the spring and the rear operator has a plurality of positions to adjust the tension between the front and rear operators.

A pocket clip for a tool includes a mounting section that defines a width between a first side opposed to a second side. A friction section is flexibly connected to the mounting section, and the friction section has a distal end biased toward the tool when the mounting section is attached to the tool. An aperture is through the friction section. A first slot extends from the first side of the mounting section partially across the width of the mounting section, and at least a portion of the aperture through the friction section is aligned in line with the first slot. A first connector in the first slot of the mounting section attaches the mounting section to the tool.

A cigar tool includes a casing with a hole through the casing that defines a perimeter. A pair of blades are pivotally connected to the casing, and each blade has a cutting edge. The pair of blades has a closed position in which the pair of blades overlap one another within the perimeter, a cutter position in which the pair of blades are separated from one another, outside the perimeter, and the cutting edges are within the casing, and a deployed position in which the cutting edge of one blade is outside the casing. A spring is operably engaged with each blade to bias the cutting edge of each blade out of the casing. An actuator extends through at least a portion of the casing and has a hold position that prevents movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing and a release position that permits movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing.

Knife blade

A cigar tool includes a casing with a hole through the casing. A pair of blades is pivotally connected to the casing, and each blade has a cutting edge, a closed position detent, a cutter position detent, and a deployed position detent. A spring is operably engaged with each blade to bias the cutting edge of each blade out of the casing. An actuator extends through at least a portion of the casing and has a hold position that prevents movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing and a release position that permits movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing. A selector is selectively engaged with the pair of blades to allow the pair of blades to move between a closed position in which each closed position detent is engaged with the actuator, a cutter position in each cutter position detent is engaged with the selector, and a deployed position in which one deployed position detent is engaged with the actuator.

Cigar cutter

A locking folding knife includes a handle and a blade pivotally connected to the handle. The blade has a cutting edge and a first position in which at least a portion of the cutting edge is located within the handle and a second position in which a majority of the cutting edge is outside of the handle. A pocket is defined in a first surface of the handle. A through-cut is in the pocket, wherein the through-cut terminates in the pocket at an endpoint. A lock is integral with the handle and extends from the endpoint of the through-cut, wherein the lock engages with a portion of the blade in the second position.
