摘要

A utility knife configured to provide a user with a variety of configurations. The utility knife includes first and second handle members configured to move relative to one another between open (e.g. unfolded) and closed (e.g., folded) positions. The knife further includes a retractable blade within the second handle member. The retractable blade may be moved between a retracted position, wherein most, if not all, of the blade is maintained within the second handle member, and an extended position, wherein a portion of the blade is exposed. The knife is configured to allow the blade to be in retracted and extended positions when the first and second handle members are in either the unfolded or folded positions.
