Foldable hand-held tool

A hand-held tool comprising:

• a handle;
• a blade having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the handle, the blade comprising a plurality of apertures;
• and
• a locking member configured to detachably engage with one of the plurality of the apertures to retain the blade at an angular position relative to the handle;
• wherein the locking member is provided on a bracket member coupled to the handle, wherein the bracket member is configured to at least partially enclose the proximal end of the blade;
• the bracket member is spring biased such that the locking member engages with one of the plurality of the apertures to retain the blade at an angular position relative to the handle;
• and
• the bracket member is movable such that the locking member disengages from one of the plurality of the apertures to allow the blade to pivot relative to the handle,
• wherein the bracket member comprises two lateral portions, each lateral portion being connected to each other at one end, wherein the two lateral portions at least partially enclose the proximal end of the blade, and
• wherein a surface area of the two lateral portions of the bracket member facing the blade is greater that a surface area of the locking member facing the blade to dissipate forces from the blade via the bracket member.
