Abstract
A pocket knife includes a chassis and an insert engaged with the chassis, wherein the insert defines an insert surface. A blade has a retracted position in which the blade is inside of the chassis and a deployed position in which at least a portion of the blade is outside of the chassis. An actuator is slidingly engaged with the chassis to reposition the blade between the retracted and deployed positions. A lock is pivotally connected to the chassis and engaged with the blade in the deployed position to lock the blade in the deployed position. A stop pin is connected to the blade, and an end of the stop pin extends a predetermined distance from the blade to engage with the insert surface when the blade is in the deployed position to prevent movement of the blade with respect to the chassis.
