ABSTRACT:
A knife scabbard includes a holder sheath and insert panel removably installed into the sheath in interfitting relation therewith to define a cavity therebetween. The insert panel has upper and lower portions capable of yieldably and resiliently flexing from an initial configuration existing prior to installation of the insert panel into the sheath, to a different final configuration in response to insertion of the knife in the cavity and engagement of the insert panel with the sheath and knife. In the initial configuration, the upper and lower portions of the insert panel are in an unloaded condition, whereas in the final configuration, they are in a loaded condition respectively against the handle and blade of the knife. The upper and lower portions of the insert panel will return to their initial configuration and unloaded condition in response to removal of the insert panel from the sheath. The scabbard also includes releasable locking elements at the lower ends of the insert panel and sheath which interfit in a locking relationship with one another and are retained in that relationship by the loaded condition of the insert panel. The locking elements take the form of a protrusion having a head protruding rearwardly from the lower end of the insert panel and a matching hole formed in the lower end of the sheath into which the protruding head fits.
