[origin: WO9958302A1] A folding knife (10) includes a handle (12) and a blade (14) pivotally coupled to the handle (12). The handle (12) has first and second ends (16, 18) and a pair of side walls (20) extending between the two ends (16, 18). The handle (12) also includes a longitudinal slot (22) disposed between the pair of side walls (20) for housing the blade (14). The blade (14) is pivotally coupled to the first end (16) of the handle (12) and is rotatable between a folded position, in which the blade (14) is situated in the longitudinal slot (22), and an extended position. Formed in a shank portion (46) of the blade (14) is an opening (48) for receiving a user's finger and improving the user's control of the knife (10) during a cutting operation.
