Inspire M3 Folding Utility Knife

WARNING: While this does function as a knife, it is not recommended for use. Utility blades are very sharp and this design does not exhibit a locking mechanism, tight tolerances, or suitable materials to warrant safe use.

I was inspired by the CRKT Provoke series of knives and their unique folding mechanism. Thus, I decided to create my own version in utility knife form.
