A flat elastic bar f, attached to the piece a1, moves loosely in a groove in the handle, and has attached to it a piece of wood so that, when the handle is grasped, the tail part f1 of the bar f bears against the tail d1 and gives a shearing action to the blades. A project at the point f2 prevents the blades from opening too far. When not in use, the blades are held together by a ring h.Created By
