A spring is in compression with the actuator between the first and second scales so that the spring biases the actuator toward the tang of the blade. A detent in the actuator engages with the tang when the actuator is in the first position and the blade is in the deployed position.
A pocket knife includes a chassis that defines a cavity. 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. A front operator inside the cavity engages with the blade to move the blade to the retracted position, and a rear operator inside the cavity engages with the blade to move the blade to the deployed position. A spring connected between the front operator and the rear operator provides a tension between the front and rear operators. An adjustable connection between the spring and the rear operator has a plurality of positions to adjust the tension between the front and rear operators.
A pocket clip for a tool includes a mounting section that defines a width between a first side opposed to a second side. A friction section is flexibly connected to the mounting section, and the friction section has a distal end biased toward the tool when the mounting section is attached to the tool. An aperture is through the friction section. A first slot extends from the first side of the mounting section partially across the width of the mounting section, and at least a portion of the aperture through the friction section is aligned in line with the first slot.
