Abstract
Device for locking a knife having a pommel projecting from the knife handle into a sheath, comprising a rigid ring pivotally supported on the hanger portion of the sheath and adapted to be pivoted from a locking position about the pommel into a non-locking position, in which the ring lies in a plane parallel to the length of the knife when the knife is in the sheath. A leaf spring with one end fixed to the sheath engages a dog projecting from the base of the ring for selectively spring-loading the ring in either a non-locking position or a locking position in which the ring engages the pommel.
