An elongated lever (2) has one end pivotally hinged to the edge of blade (6) on one side transversely spaced from the pivotal axis of blade (6) having a squared end block (60) of blade (6) extending rearwardly therefrom therein handle (4), the upper and lower side of end block (60) are flat. The opposite length of lever (20) extend parallel and spaced apart to at least the length of blade (6) adjacent a cutting edge (24) of blade (6) upon handle (4). Lever (20) is configured with a hump (26) which abuts with blade (6) rearwardly of cutting edge (24) to retain the spacing between lever (20) and cutting edge (24).
The free end of lever (20) is swingable in a circular motion in the plane of blade (6) to either side of handle (4) with respect to the pivotal axis of blade (6) to move blade (6) back and forth between its stored position and exposed position projecting linearly from the end of handle (4).
