ABSTRACT:
A knife and sheath with a locking mechanism. The knife has a blade with a tang and a handle with a channel to receive the tang. Holes in the tang and the handle align to receive a threaded post which also secures the stud of a snap fastener to the front of the handle. The sheath has a blade-enclosing section and a pouch section that encloses and frictionally holds a portion of the handle. The pouch has two arms that encircle that portion from front to rear. The pouch section carries the socket of the snap fastener, preferably on a longitudinal section on the front of the sheath, so that the knife may be secured in the sheath by simply snapping the socket to the stud, and be released by unsnapping.
