Knives

A de-flashing knife comprising a handle, a first blade, having a cutting edge, mounted on the handle, and a guard mounted on the handle alongside the first blade, the guard extending substantially parallel to, and spaced from the cutting edge of the first blade, the guard being mounted on the handle so as to be moveable relative to the first blade, wherein the guard comprises a second blade, the general plane of which is inclined at an angle to the general plane of the first blade, so that the guard and second blade diverge as they extend away from the cutting edge of the first blade, the second blade having a cutting edge, the cutting edge of the second blade being substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the first blade, and wherein the first blade comprises a main part having a cutting edge, and a root part which is mounted on the handle of the knife, and the second blade is mounted on the first blade.

A de-flashing knife comprising a handle, a blade, having a cutting edge, mounted on the handle, and a guard mounted on the handle alongside the blade, the guard extending substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the blade, the guard being mounted on the handle so as to be moveable relative to the blade, wherein the guard comprises a second blade, the general plane of which is inclined at an angle to the general plane of the first blade, so that the guard and second blade diverge as they extend away from the cutting edge of the first blade, the second blade having a cutting edge, the cutting edge of the second blade being substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the first blade, the first and second blades both being mounted on a support element which is, in turn, mounted on the handle of the knife, the support element comprising a metal tang on opposite sides of which the first and second blades are mounted at the required angle to one another by spacers, the metal tang having a root part which is mounted on the handle of the knife.

A de-flashing knife comprising a handle, a blade, having a cutting edge, mounted on the handle, and a guard mounted on the handle alongside the blade, the guard extending substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the blade, the guard being mounted on the handle so as to be moveable relative to the blade, wherein the guard comprises a second blade, the general plane of which is inclined at an angle to the general plane of the first blade, so that the guard and second blade diverge as they extend away from the cutting edge of the first blade, the second blade having a cutting edge, the cutting edge of the second blade being substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the first blade, and wherein the cutting edge of one of the first and second blades is formed with a semi-circular cut-out.

A de-flashing knife comprising a handle, a blade, having a cutting edge, mounted on the handle, and a guard mounted on the handle alongside the blade, the guard extending substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the blade, the guard being mounted on the handle so as to be moveable relative to the blade, wherein the blade is detachably mounted on the handle, the blade being mounted on an intermediate head part which is detachably mounted on the handle, the head part being formed from a material which is integrally mounted around a part of the blade.

A de-flashing knife comprising a handle, a blade, having a cutting edge, mounted on the handle, and a guard mounted on the handle alongside the blade, the guard extending substantially parallel to, and spaced from, the cutting edge of the blade, the guard being mounted on the handle so as to be moveable relative to the blade, wherein the blade is mounted on the handle so as to be retractable into the handle, the blade being spring-urged to an extended position where its cutting edge projects from the handle, there being connected to the blade a manipulating member by movement of which the blade can be retracted into the handle against the action of the spring.
