boot knife
Concealed ankle weapon
A boot knife is a small fixed-blade knife designed to be concealed in a boot or strapped to the lower leg.
The blade is typically thin and double-edged, optimized for close-quarters self-defense rather than utility tasks.
Boot knives often come with sheaths that clip inside footwear: He kept a boot knife in his right cowboy boot.
