Abstract

See full text

A folding tool such as a knife includes first and second spaced apart sidewalls with a blade pivotally attached to both sidewalls with a self-interlocking pivot pin. An opening in one sidewall includes a first, larger portion that receives an end of the pivot pin, and a smaller cylindrical opening that communicates with the larger portion through a slot. The end of the pivot pin slides through the slot and the sidewalls are rotated relative to one another to interlock the sidewalls. The knife may be easily assembled and disassembled without tools.
