Abstract
A sliding blade knife has an elongated frame-like handle. A blade is longitudinally positionable relative to the handle and is transformable between a stable extended and a stable retracted position relative to the handle. An exteriorly accessible button is depressible to allow the blade to be transformed between the retracted positions and the stable extended position. In the extended position, the blade projects outwardly of the handle for usage.
