Abstract
A combination of a knife and scabbard is disclosed, the knife having a lateral projection on its handle and the scabbard having a stop on the inner surface of one side edge thereof for engaging the projection when the knife is inserted into the scabbard, preventing accidental release of the knife. A slot opening in the upper part of the scabbard opposite the stop can be widened by forcing the knife handle into it to disengage the projection from the stop, permitting the knife to be withdrawn from the scabbard. A strap and fastener releasably prevent widening of the slot opening to lock the knife in the scabbard.
