Abstract
A single blade foldable knife. The knife includes a planar-shaped handle section, a blade pivotably conjoined to an appropriate position at one extremity of the handle section, and a protective component disposed on the handle section at a position facing the tip of the blade cutting edge, such that when the blade is folded, the top of the blade cutting edge is nested in the protective component. In the stored position, the cutting edge totally incapable of external contact and, therefore, the protective component safeguards the user from injury due to touching the blade when the foldable knife is grasped, picked up, or carried, and prevents the scoring of other objects by the cutting edge, and protects the cutting edge from wear.
