DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, a multifunctional knife device comprises a main handle 3, a main blade 2 having a tang 23 inserted in the main handle 3, an auxiliary handle 30, an auxiliary blade 100 having a serrated tang 101 inserted in the auxiliary handle 30, and a spring 4 inserted in the main handle 3 and the auxiliary handle 30.

The main blade 2 has a back 21, a tip end 20, a plurality of round holes 22, and the tang 23 having a round aperture 231.

The auxiliary blade 100 has a circular aperture 102.

A pivot bolt 51 passes through the round aperture 231 of the main blade 2 and the circular aperture 102 of the auxiliary blade 100 to fasten the main blade 2 and the auxiliary blade 100 together.

A nut 52 engages with the pivot bolt 51.

The main handle 3 has a slot 310.

A serrated block 110 is inserted in the slot 310 of the main handle 3.

The auxiliary handle 30 has a notch 31 to match the slot 310 of the main handle 3.

The spring 4 has a first end 4A inserted in the main handle 3 and a second end 4B inserted in the auxiliary handle 30.

An insertion pin 40 is inserted in one of the round holes 22 of the main blade 2.

A sleeve 42 engages with the insertion pin 40 and the insertion pin 40 has a threaded post 41 threadedly inserted in the sleeve 42.

Referring to FIG. 4 again, the insertion pin 40 is disposed on a metal plate 5. Therefore, the main blade 2 can cut the metal plate 5 gradually.

When a user dives in a sea, the multifunctional knife device of the present invention will cut a net while the user is entrapped by the net.

An article can be put between the slot of the main handle and the notch of the auxiliary handle in order to be rotated by the multifunctional knife device of the present invention.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment but various modification thereof may be made. Furthermore, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
