Abstract:
A bracelet or flexible band comprised of a flexible member that on one end is interconnected to a knife and on another end, is connected to a sheath that selectively receives the knife in the locking fashion. When needed, the knife is rotated within the sheath to facilitate release thereof from a lock that is integral with the sheath. Once removed from the sheath, the knife can be used for self-defense, cutting rope or cord in an emergency situation, or for general utility cutting tasks.

Claim (Index 10):
In combination a knife and sheath, comprising:\n a sheath having a first end and a second end with an opening, the sheath also having a selectively deflectable arm extending away from the sheath, the selectively deflectable arm having a proximal end interconnected to said sheath between the first end and the second end and a distal end that ends in a detent, wherein the deflectable end is of such length wherein the detent is located adjacent the second end; a knife comprised of a blade extending from a blade base, the blade base having a first end interconnected to the blade and a second end, the blade base also having a protrusion extending therefrom, wherein the blade is configured to be selectively inserted and removed from said sheath; wherein the second end of the sheath and the first end of the blade base are comprised of complementary curved surfaces; wherein the detent has a first position of use where the blade is inserted within the sheath and the protrusion is positioned between the second end of the sheath and the detent and a second position of use where the selectively deflectable arm is deflected so at least a portion of the detent is moved relative to the protrusion; wherein the detent includes a recessed portion configured to selectively engage and partially surround a corresponding portion of the protrusion when the detent is in the first position of use; wherein the opening of the sheath is associated with a cavity configured to selectively receive the blade, the cavity having a ceiling and a floor, wherein a tip of the blade is spaced from the floor when the blade is fully inserted in the sheath; and wherein movement of the detent from the first position of use to the second position of use is achieved by rotating the blade base relative to the sheath to move the tip toward the floor.
