ABSTRACT:
A folding knife holder and method, whereby a folding knife can be safely carried in an elongate knife holder, comprising a housing member that has an elongate recess defined by a base surface, side surfaces and end surfaces, and sized and shaped to receive the knife in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the base surface, with the spine of the knife laying against the base. The margin of the walls of the housing member define an elongate orifice opening into the recess. The orifice is partially occluded at one end by a strike member. The strike member has a gap, wider than the knife blade. When the back of the knife blade is grasped and pulled in an outward direction, the knife blade will pass through the gap in the strike member and the strike member will blockingly engage the butt of the knife handle, thereby allowing the knife blade to be pivotably rotated into an open position.
