ABSTRACT:
A knife and belt buckle case in which the knife is releasably secured to the buckle. The knife includes a blade pivoted to a handle by a pivot pin which has an eccentric head. With the knife open, the eccentric head is positioned for insertion through an aperture of the buckle as the blade is positioned within a blade receiving recess of the buckle. When the knife is closed, the inserted eccentric head engages the back surface of the buckle and releasably secures the knife to the buckle. The blade is threadably mounted to the pivot pin so that, as the knife is opened, the blade moves into frictional engagement with the handle and holds the knife open. Also, as the knife is closed, the blade moves toward the eccentric head and clamps a portion of the buckle between the head and blade to thereby tightly secure the knife to the case. A detent couples the handle to the buckle and prevents undesired opening of the handle.
