ABSTRACT:
A knife assembly includes a handle having a blade cavity and a deployment slot extending longitudinally in the handle. A blade is slidably positioned within the blade cavity, and is slidable between a retracted position, in which the blade is wholly enclosed within the handle, and an extended position, in which a portion of the blade extends from a first end of the handle. A clip assembly includes a pin configured to releasably engage a tang portion of the blade in the blade cavity via the deployment slot. While the pin engages the blade, it can traverse the deployment slot from a first end to a second end to move the blade between the extended and retracted positions. The handle is configured to hang from the pin at the second end of the deployment slot while the blade is in the retracted position.
