Abstract
A folding grappling hook has a blade and a handle. The blade has a hinge end and a hook at the other end. The handle has two plates sandwiching a long spacer and a short spacer, the spacers forming an aperture bounded by the plates, long spacer, and short spacer. The blade and handle are attached at a hinge so that they freely pivot relative to each other between a closed configuration where the hook is sheathed within the aperture and a deployed configuration where the blade is pivoted out of the handle to a deployed stop. In the deployed stop, a finger on the long spacer engages a circumferential groove in the blade, and as the blade pivots away from the handle, the groove rotates until the finger contacts the end of the groove.
