Abstract
A pocket knife includes a chassis that defines a left outer surface, a right outer surface, a top outer surface, and a cavity between the left and right outer surfaces. A blade having a cutting edge has a retracted position in which the cutting edge is inside the cavity and a deployed position in which the cutting edge is outside of the cavity. An actuator in sliding contact with the chassis has a shut position that moves the blade to the retracted position and an open position that moves the blade to the deployed position. A left side of the actuator extends beyond the left outer surface of the chassis. A right side of the actuator extends beyond the right outer surface of the chassis. A top side of the actuator extends beyond the top outer surface of the chassis.
