Abstract
A folding utensil is provided including an active part defining a first longitudinal axis and configured to perform a folding utensil function; a handle defining a second longitudinal axis and including a seat for the active part; and an articulated quadrilateral loosely connecting the active part to the handle defining for the folding utensil a use configuration and a configuration of non-use and including two rocker arms hinged to the handle and to the active part so that the folding utensil passes from one configuration to another by varying the mutual inclination between the longitudinal axes.
