Abstract
A folding knife includes a handle defined by a first handle half and a second handle half held at least partially in a spaced apart relationship to form an accommodation space. An insert is defined by a first insert shell and a second insert shell, the first insert shell being attached to the first handle half and the second insert shell being attached to the second handle half. A blade is pivotally connected between the insert shells with a pivot shaft extending through a bore in a tang of the blade, the blade being rotationally movable between a closed position in the accommodation space and an open position.
