Abstract
A fixed-blade knife having a knife body. The knife body has a blade with a cutting edge and an elongated handle extending from the blade. A guard is pivotally coupled to the knife body and adapted to be actuated between an open position and a closed position. The guard has an external surface that is ergonomically configured for handling the knife when the guard is in the open position. In the open position, the guard is positioned adjacent the handle to expose the cutting edge. In the closed position, the guard is positioned adjacent the blade to cover the cutting edge.
