A knife is provided having an interchangeable and replaceable blade. A knife may include: a knife base defining a base protrusion and a base recess; a replaceable knife blade defining a blade protrusion and a blade recess; and a fastener, wherein the knife base is held fixed relative to the replaceable knife blade in a plane along which the replaceable knife blade extends in response to the base protrusion engaging the blade recess and the blade protrusion engaging the base recess; and where the knife is held fixed relative to the replaceable knife blade in an axis orthogonal to the plane of the replaceable knife blade by the fastener securing the knife base to the replaceable knife blade.

Knife with replaceable blade

A tool is provided in order to facilitate utilization by users in a wide variety of applications. By way of example, a multipurpose tool may include first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position. At least the first handle includes an axle extending thereacross. The multipurpose tool also includes one or more tool members rotatably mounted upon the axle and foldable into the first handle and first and second jaws rotatably connected to the first and second handles, respectively. At least the first jaw defines an opening through which the axle of the first handle extends. The multipurpose tool further includes a resilient member disposed at least partially within the opening in order to apply a bias force to the first jaw during rotation of the first jaw relative to the first handle.

Tool having one or more rotatable tool members

A cutting tool is provided which may include a first blade and a second blade, where the first blade is coupled to the second blade at a first pivot point, where the first blade defines a cam follower and pivots relative to the second blade about a first pivot axis through the first pivot point; and a lever pivotably coupled to the second blade at a second pivot point, where the lever defines a cam surface and pivots relative to the second blade about a second pivot axis through the second pivot point, where the second blade is driven toward the first blade in response to the lever being advanced toward the first pivot point and the cam follower translating along the cam surface.

A multipurpose tool and components thereof are provided in order to facilitate utilization of the multipurpose tool by users in a wide variety of applications. A multipurpose tool may include first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position. The multipurpose tool may also include a plurality of tool members. One or more of the plurality of tool members are carried by and foldable into the first handle. Similarly, one or more of the plurality of tool members are carried by and foldable into the second handle. The multipurpose tool may further include a first magnet carried by the first handle. The first magnet is configured to exert a magnetic force that biases the first and second handles into the closed position.
