Abstract: A knife including a handle having a first scale coupled to a second scale cooperatively defining a pocket and a slot, a blade assembly pivotably coupled to the handle, and a lock and release mechanism. The lock and release mechanism is at least partially disposed in the pocket and is defined by a monolithic element. The lock and release mechanism includes a base portion and a resilient portion extending from the base portion. The base portion is coupled to the handle and the resilient portion is movable between a static position and a depressed position relative to the base portion to vary the blade assembly between a closed position and an opened position.
