Collapsible multiblade throwing weapon

Abstract

A collapsible multiblade throwing weapon incorporates a first blade having a shank from which a blade portion extends with a butt portion extending from the shank opposite the blade portion. The shank incorporates an aperture for a first axle and an eyelet extending from the butt portion for a second axle. Second and third blades each have an aperture which receives the first axle for rotation of the blade on the axle and each blade has a closed position engagement cutout and an open position engagement cutout. First and second pawls, associated with the second and third blades respectively, each have an eyelet receiving the second axle. The pawls rotate about the second axle for resiliently engaging the closed position engagement cutout with the associated blade in a closed position and the open position engagement cutout with the associated blade in an open position.
