Abstract
An interchangeable cutlery system has a blade handle incorporating a quick-change blade mechanism. A selected one of a plurality of blades can be removably attached to the handle via the mechanism. The plurality of blades include a filet knife blade, a back-serrated fillet knife blade, a clip point knife blade, a gut hook knife blade, a saw blade, a fish scaler, and a large bush craft blade.
Claims34
An interchangeable cutlery system comprising:
- a blade handle incorporating a quick-change blade mechanism, and
- a plurality of blades removably attachable to said handle via said mechanism,
- wherein said plurality of blades are selected from a group consisting of a filet knife blade, a back-serrated fillet knife blade, a clip point knife blade, a gut hook knife blade, a saw blade, a fish scaler, a large bush craft blade, and multiple lengths thereof.
A bladed implement including a quick-change blade mechanism, comprising:
- a blade handle including a spring mounted in said handle and deflectable
- generally perpendicular to a plane of said handle,
- a spring stud mounted on said spring,
- a release button mounted on said spring, and
- a blade including an aperture in a proximal end of said blade,
- wherein sliding said proximal end of said blade into said handle while pressing said release button to deflect said spring permits said blade to be inserted into said handle,
- whereupon releasing said release button once said aperture is aligned with said spring stud allows said spring to bias said spring stud into said aperture to attach said blade to said handle, and
- wherein pressing said release button deflects said spring thereby moving said spring stud out of said aperture at which time said proximal end of said blade can be slid out of said handle to thereby detach said blade from said handle.
An interchangeable cutlery system comprising:
- a knife handle incorporating a quick-change knife blade mechanism, and
- a plurality of knife blades removably attachable to said handle via said mechanism,
- wherein said plurality of blades are selected from a group consisting of filet, clip, and gut hook blades, and multiple lengths thereof.
A knife including a quick-change knife blade mechanism, comprising:
- a knife handle including a spring mounted in said handle and deflectable generally perpendicular to a plane of said handle,
- a spring stud mounted on said spring,
- a release button mounted on said spring, and
- a knife blade including an aperture in a proximal end of said blade,
- wherein sliding said proximal end of said blade into said handle deflects said spring by virtue of said blade acting upon said spring stud, or pressing said release button deflects said spring, until such time as said aperture is aligned with said spring stud whereupon said spring biases said spring stud into said aperture to attach said blade to said handle, and
- wherein pressing said release button deflects said spring thereby moving said spring stud out of said aperture at which time said proximal end of said blade can be slid out of said handle to thereby detach said blade from said handle.
