Abstract
A pocket knife includes a chassis and a blade having a retracted position in which the blade is locked inside of the chassis and a deployed position in which at least a portion of the blade is locked outside of the chassis. An actuator is slidingly engaged with the chassis to reposition the blade between the retracted and deployed positions. A lock is pivotally connected to the chassis and has a surface defined by the lock. A first projection extending from the surface of the lock engages with the blade in the deployed position to lock the blade in the deployed position.
