Abstract

A folding knife includes a handle, a first liner inside the handle, and a second liner inside the handle and opposed to tire first liner. A blade has a tang and a cutting edge, and the tang of the blade pivotally connects the blade between the first and second liners. The blade has a retracted position in which the cutting edge is inside the handle and a deployed position in which the cutting edge is outside the handle. An actuator is at least partially between the first and second liners. A screw inside the handle has a first end opposed to a second end. The first end of the screw is engaged with the first liner, and the second end of the screw is threadingly engaged with the second liner.
