ABSTRACT:
A knife/sheath locking assembly for retaining a knife (10) or other tool within a sheath (16). Two flexible arms (18) extend outward from opposite sides of the open end (17) of the sheath (16). The handle (12) of the knife (10) includes two tunnel structures (32) located proximal to the blade (14) and spaced to cooperatively accept the flexible arms (18) of the sheath (16). Latch elements disposed on the flexible arms (18) retain the knife (10) within the sheath (16), and removal of the knife (10) requires the inward urging of the distal ends (22) of the flexible arms (18).
