Abstract
A knife of the type having a casing and a blade pivotably mounted thereto has an actuator button slidably mounted to the casing. The blade has a concentric wheel associated therewith. One end of a non-extensible linkage is connected to the actuator, and the opposite end of the non-extensible linkage is wrapped around a portion of the wheel. When the user exerts a force to slide the actuator, the user-exerted force is transmitted by the non-extensible linkage to rotate the wheel, thereby pivoting the blade from its closed position to its open position.
