In some embodiments, the handle includes: a handle body, a locating portion is provided on the handle body; and a handle clamp, the handle clamp including a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm and a connecting portion, the connecting portion is provided between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the first clamping arm is movably provided on the handle body and enables the handle clamp with a retraction position and an extension position. Some embodiments solve the problems in the prior art that a handle is prone to slide off from a pocket due to a bad fit between the handle and the pocket and the handle is not prone to be hidden in the pocket when the handle is clamped in the pocket. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A handle, comprising: a handle body, a locating portion is provided on the handle body; and a handle clamp, the handle clamp comprising a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm and a connecting portion, the connecting portion is provided between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the first clamping arm is movably provided on the handle body and enables the handle clamp to retract and extend between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the first clamping arm is movable along a longitudinal axis of the handle body and transferrable between the retracted position and the extended position; a first fitting portion and a second fitting portion are provided on the first clamping arm, the first fitting portion is closer to the connecting portion relative to the second fitting portion, when the first fitting portion matches with the locating portion, the handle clamp is located at the retracted position, and when the second fitting portion matches with the locating portion, the handle clamp is located at the extended position; wherein the handle body comprises a first side plate and a second side plate, opposite to each other, the first side plate is provided with an avoidance channel running through an internal surface of the first side plate and an external surface of the first side plate, the locating portion is provided in the avoidance channel, the locating portion comprises a cantilever and a bulge provided on the cantilever, the bulge protruding inwardly, the first clamping arm penetrates through the first side plate and the second side plate, and the bulge abuts against the first clamping arm. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The handle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the avoidance channel is provided at a first end of the first side plate, a first end of the cantilever is connected with an inner wall, away from the first end of the first side plate, of the avoidance channel, and a clearance is provided between a second end of the cantilever and an inner wall, close to the first end of the first side plate, of the avoidance channel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The handle as claimed in claim 2, wherein a first end of the second side plate has an avoidance gap in order that the handle clamp cannot protrude out of the first end of the first side plate when the handle clamp is located at the retracted position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The handle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bulge protrudes out of the internal surface of the first side plate, and both the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are fitting holes matching with the bulge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The handle as claimed in claim 4, wherein the bulge is a ball, and the fitting holes are circular holes matching with the ball. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The handle as claimed in claim 1, wherein a locating slide way is provided between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, such that the bulge slides between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The handle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second clamping arm comprises a second clamping arm body and an abutting portion, a first end of the abutting portion is connected with one end, away from the connecting portion, of the second clamping arm body and tilts to the first clamping arm, and a second end of the abutting portion extends to a direction away from the first clamping arm and forms a free end. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The handle as claimed in claim 7, wherein an internal surface of a first end of the second side plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the first clamping arm is provided in the sliding groove. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A knife, comprising a handle and a knife body, wherein the handle is the handle as claimed in claim 1, and the knife body is pivoted to one end, away from the handle clamp, of the handle body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The knife as claimed in claim 9, wherein the avoidance channel is provided at a first end of the first side plate, a first end of the cantilever is connected with an inner wall, away from the first end of the first side plate, of the avoidance channel, and a clearance is provided between a second end of the cantilever and an inner wall, close to the first end of the first side plate, of the avoidance channel. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The knife as claimed in claim 10, wherein a first end of the second side plate has an avoidance gap in order that the handle clamp cannot protrude out of the first end of the first side plate when the handle clamp is located at the retracted position. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The knife as claimed in claim 9, wherein the bulge protrudes out of the internal surface of the first side plate, and both the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are fitting holes matching with the bulge. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The knife as claimed in claim 12, the bulge is a ball, and the fitting holes are circular holes matching with the ball. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The knife as claimed in claim 9, wherein a locating slide way is provided between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion, such that the bulge slides between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The knife as claimed in claim 9, wherein the second clamping arm comprises a second clamping arm body and an abutting portion, a first end of the abutting portion is connected with one end, away from the connecting portion, of the second clamping arm body and tilts to the first clamping arm, and a second end of the abutting portion extends to a direction away from the first clamping arm and forms a free end. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The knife as claimed in claim 15, wherein an internal surface of a first end of the second side plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the first clamping arm is provided in the sliding groove.
