The blade is pivotally connected to the handle assembly and is configured to pivot from a closed position to an opened position. The secondary tool is pivotally connected to the handle assembly and is configured to pivot from a closed position to an opened position. The secondary tool includes a locking member that traps the blade in the closed position when the secondary tool is in the opened position but allows the blade to pivot to the opened position when the secondary tool is in the closed position.
