A knife having a foldable blade includes a locking bar which holds the blade in an open position. A release lever is provided on the side of the handle for releasing the locking bar and allowing the blade to be moved to a closed position. The release lever has a laterally exposed portion which is flush with the outer surface of a bolster of the knife and a projection which extends into the recess which receives the blade when the knife is closed. The projection engages the bottom surface of the locking bar and urges it upward when the laterally exposed portion is depressed.
