Abstract

An improved structure of a penknife is disclosed. The improved structure of a pen-knife of the present invention comprises (a) a top housing and a bottom housing being mounted together with a positioning screw at the center of the housings; (b) a knife seat having a push button and engaging teeth for engaging with a plurality of blade notches at the edge at one end of a blade; and (c) four pairs of engaging recess and engaging button being provided at the four corners of the top housing and bottom housing and being engageable with each other; characterized in that the end section of the top housing is provided with a round protrusion urged by a spring and a round recess is provided on the bottom housing at a position corresponding to the round protrusion, thereby a finger is used to press the rear end of the top housing so that the engaging recess and engaging buttons on the top and bottom housing are separated so that the housings of the front end of the pen-knife are crossed with each other, allowing installation of a blade or removal of a blade.
