Abstract
A knife includes a blade defining an aperture and a handle. The handle includes a body pivotably coupled to the blade, a catch movably coupled to the body, and a biasing member coupled to the body. The catch includes a protrusion. The biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force on the catch. The handle is selectively repositionable between a first position and a second position relative to the blade. The biasing force biases the protrusion of the catch toward the blade when the handle is in the first position. The protrusion is received by the aperture to prevent rotation of the handle relative to the blade when the handle is in the first position.
