Abstract
An exemplary folding knife has a handle including an inner liner portion and an outer panel. The inner liner portion includes a locking member that is operable to move between an unlocked position and a locked position. The folding knife includes a blade having a tang portion pivotally connected to the handle. The blade is operable to pivot relative to the handle about a pivot axis extending through the tang portion between a closed position and an open position. The tang portion engages the locking member when the blade is in the open position and the locking member is in the locked position. The folding knife also includes a lever member pivotally mounted to the locking member. The lever member is operable to block the locking member from moving from the locked position to the unlocked position when the blade is open.
