A knife blade has one end thereof pivotally attached to the other end of the arm member and is moveable when the arm member is in the second position thereof between a first position adjacent to the arm member and a second position wherein the knife blade extends away from the arm member for allowing the knife blade to be selectively folded into the handle for storage or out from the handle for use.
