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 1):
A combination knife and sheath, comprising:\n a sheath comprising:\n a first surface; \n a second surface spaced from the first surface; \n a third surface interconnecting the first surface and the second surface; \n a fourth surface interconnecting the first surface and the second surface; \n wherein the first surface, the second surface, the third surface, and the fourth surface define an internal volume having an opening defined by corresponding edges of the first surface, the second surface, the third surface, and the fourth surface; \n wherein at least one of the third surface and the fourth surface have a normal axis that is generally parallel with at least a portion of at least one of the first surface and the second surface; \n an arm deflectably attached to the fourth surface; and a detent interconnected to an end of the arm; a knife with a first portion adapted to be selectively inserted within the volume and a second portion that is positioned outside the volume when the first portion is positioned in the volume, the first portion comprising an upper edge defining and an opposed lower edge ending in a tip, and the second portion having a handle guard extending from a location proximate to the first portion; wherein when the first portion of the knife is fully inserted into the sheath, the detent is in a first locked position with the handle guard is positioned between the opening and the detent, and wherein the detent has a second release position where the arm is flexed to move the detent so that the handle guard is able to move away from the opening of the sheath; and wherein a quick release movement of the knife from the sheath is achieved by moving the detent from the first locked position to the second release position by sliding the second portion of the knife along the opening of the sheath to move the tip of the first portion of the knife toward the fourth surface of the sheath.
