ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a knife and sheath assembly, the knife having a blade and a hilt with a guard, the sheath having a closed portion adapted to receive the blade and an open portion adapted to abut the hilt and guard. A bolt and a spring are slidably contained within a channel in the sheath. A portion of the bolt protrudes outwards from the channel and engages the side of the guard. The open portion of the sheath has a guide with a curved portion that causes the hilt of a knife being inserted to engage the bolt and move it from the locking position to the unlocking position until the knife is inserted far enough. Then a stepped portion of the guide causes the hilt to seat against the sheath and to disengage the bolt which slides to the locking position, thus preventing removal of the knife from the sheath by the cooperation of the sheath and the bolt. Pushing the bolt away into the channel releases the knife.
