ABSTRACT:
A folding knife is provided which has a blade, a main handle and a tail handle. The tail handle is pivotably engaged to the main handle. When the knife is in a work configuration, a free end of the tail handle is swung to engage a blade end of the main handle and, together with the main handle, the tail handle forms a grip from which the blade extends. Both the main handle and the tail handle have grooves, such that when the tail handle is swung away from the main handle into an open position, the handles together form a sheath for the blade. With the main handle and the tail handle so configured, the blade of the folding knife can be longer than the grip and yet still be sheathed when the blade is swung into the sheath formed by the main handle and the tail handle for storage. The knife preferably has a tip encasing assembly attached to the tail handle which prevents the blade from being accidentally disengaged from the sheath. Either a grooved wheel or a block with a tip engaging notch can be used as the tip encasing assembly. When a grooved wheel is employed, it is preferred that the wheel be a sharpening stone.
