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.
Claims24
In combination a knife and sheath, comprising:
- a sheath having a first end and a second end with an opening, the sheath also having a selectively deflectable arm that ends in a detent positioned 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 handle guard extending therefrom, wherein the blade is configured to be selectively inserted and removed from said sheath;
- and
- wherein the detent has a first position of use where the blade is inserted within the sheath and the handle guard is positioned between the second end of the sheath and the detent, thereby locking the knife to the sheath to prevent removal of the blade from the sheath, 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 handle guard, thereby allowing the blade to be removed from the sheath and the blade base to be moved away from the second end of the sheath.

In combination a knife and sheath, comprising:
- a sheath having a first end and a second end with an opening, the sheath also having a selectively deflectable arm that ends in a detent positioned 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 handle guard extending therefrom, wherein the blade is configured to be selectively inserted and removed from said sheath, wherein at least one of the blade and blade base includes a gripping surface on a top surface thereof;
- 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 handle guard is positioned between the second end of the sheath and the detent, thereby locking the knife to the sheath to prevent removal of the blade from the sheath, 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 handle guard, thereby allowing the blade to be removed from the sheath and the blade base to be moved away from the second end of the sheath;
- and
- wherein the detent includes a recessed portion configured to selectively receive a corresponding portion of the handle guard when the detent is in the first position of use.

A selectively connectable assembly, comprising:
- a sheath having a first end and a second open end, the sheath including a selectively deflectable arm terminating at a retaining member positioned adjacent the second open end of the sheath;
- a device comprised of a first end configured to selectively fit within the sheath, and a second end with a protrusion extending therefrom;
- and
- wherein the retaining member has a first position of use where the protrusion is positioned between the second open end of the sheath and the retaining member, and a second position of use where the retaining member is deflected such that the device is free to move from of the sheath.
