sheath knife
Holstered cutting tool
A sheath knife is a fixed-blade knife carried in a protective case, typically worn on a belt.
Unlike folding knives, the blade doesn't collapse into the handle, so it requires a sheath for safe transport.
Sheath knives are common among hunters, campers, and outdoorsmen who need a sturdy blade readily accessible.
