Abstract
A folding knife, whereby a unique arrangement of linked levers, produces a geometry of mechanical advantage, allowing the user to safely deploy an extended, but unlocked blade, by simply griping the handle. A resilient element, in conjunction with the linked levers, produces a powered assist in the act of opening the blade and also in the act of closing the blade. Alternately, further means are disclosed of providing the option of a positive locking blade.
