ABSTRACT:
An improved folding knife and one-handed opening system. The key improvement consists of a manual opening lever (100) moving alongside the blade (40) operated by the thumb by pressing upwards on the thumb bar (120). Because the manual opening lever (100) rotates about the fastener-bearing (60), it can be returned to its out-of-the-way initial position after opening the knife. Thus, this invention provides a simple one-handed opening system which does not intrude into the working area of the blade.
