ABSTRACT:
A locking knife and sheath combination having a knife of unitary construction. A flexible engagement tab is provided on the handle of the knife for engaging with a tab receiving opening provided in a front portion of the sheath. Upon engagement of the tab with such opening, the knife is securely retained in the sheath. Removal of the knife from the sheath is accomplished by depression of the tab through the tab opening of the sheath. Sheath clamping means are also provided on the opposite side of the sheath and include a clamping arm which pivots with respect to the rearward surface of the sheath through means of rotation of a thumbwheel adjustment member. Rotation of the adjustment member allows for the clamping arm to selectively clamp the sheath to an article. A clamping device is provided for a folding knife having a thumbwheel adjustment member.
