Abstract

A hand held multi-functional knife may include a body defining a cavity and a groove and a blade configured to move into and out of the groove of the body. The hand held knife may also include a cover having an inner surface and being rotatably attached to the body to move between an open position and a closed position, and a mirror attached to the inner surface of the cover, the mirror being visible when the cover is in the open position and being concealed when the cover is in the closed position. The mirror may also be fixedly attached or removably attached to the body. The hand held multi-functional knife may further include a light emitting diode positioned within the body.
