Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a knife.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, knives are tools used to cut, slice, and sharpen objects. These knives are classified into stationery knives used in students or offices, cooking knives used for trimming and cutting food, carving knives used in art class, and the like, depending on their uses.

In addition, since the blade is very sharp, the knife includes a sheath to cover the blade in order to be used for carrying purposes. That is, these knives are divided into portable knives that can be carried with a sheath and general knives that cannot be carried without a sheath, depending on whether they are carried.

A conventional portable knife includes a knife body having a blade and a handle, and a sheath covering the blade of the blade body. Therefore, the knife can be carried with the blade accommodated in the sheath.

However, the conventional portable knife is generally placed in other places such as the trunk of a car or a tent, rather than being held by the user at all times so there is a problem that the conventional portable knife cannot be used in a situation where the conventional portable knife is required.

For example, in a situation where the knife is needed, such as when the user is in distress or in an emergency, such as in the mountains or the sea, a situation in which a knife is not currently in possession and dies unjustly may occur. In preparation for such disasters, it is necessary to carry survival items such as knives with you at almost all times. In other words, the requirement for survival items such as knives is to keep them wom, and items that are repeatedly removed from the body and taken out of pockets because they are uncomfortable are not survival items. No matter where the user goes, survival items such as knives are meaningful when the user always carries the knifes, and this is the basis of survival items.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the blade body 200 from falling backward while the blade body 200 is caught in the blade body upper catching portion 423, so that the blade 201 of the blade body 200 may be handled more safely.

Furthermore, the blade body fitting portion 420 may further include a finger insertion portion 425 as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. The finger insertion portion 425 may be formed between the rear ends of the left and right blade body accommodating portions 410 and may have an open shape for inserting a finger to lift the rear end of the blade body 200.

In addition, the blade body fitting portion 420 may further include a drain hole 426 as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7. The drain hole 426 may be formed between the blade body support portion 422 and the sheath body 100, and may discharge water flowing into the end of the blade body guide inclined surface 421.

In addition, the blade body fitting portion 420 may further include a plurality of removal anti-slip protrusions 427 as illustrated in FIG. 5. The removal anti-slip protrusion 427 may be provided at the front part of the blade body 200, and when the blade body 200 is removed, may prevent the finger from sliding while the front part of the blade body 200 is pressed with the other one finger by lifting the rear part of the blade body 200 with any one finger through the finger insertion portion 425. For reference, the removal anti-slip protrusion 427 is illustrated only in FIG. 5 to be illustrated in the drawing.

In addition, the wrist wearable knife (WK) according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a grip portion 500 as illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6, and 10. The grip portion 500 may be provided in the blade body 200 and increase the grip sense of the blade body 200 while using the blade body 200.

Specifically, the grip portion 500 may include a gripping hole 510 and a plurality of main grip protrusions 520 as illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6, and 10. The gripping hole 510 may be opened at the center of the blade body 200 and may hold a position where a thumb (not illustrated) and a middle finger (not illustrated) of a wearer face each other. Each of the main grip protrusions 520 may be formed along the inner circumferential surface of the gripping hole 510 and may prevent the thumb and the middle finger facing each other from slipping. For example, the gripping hole 510 may be opened in a substantially rectangular shape. Therefore, it is possible to hold the position where the thumb and the middle finger face each other with respect to the blade body 200 through the gripping hole 510, and the slipping of the thumb and the middle finger facing each other may be prevented through the plurality of main grip protrusions 520, thereby increasing the grip sense.

Furthermore, the grip portion 500 may further include a plurality of auxiliary grip protrusions 530 as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 10. Each of these auxiliary grip protrusions 530 may be provided at the front part of one side circumferential surface of the blade body 200 and may prevent slipping when the wearer's index finger (not illustrated) touches them. Therefore, even if the index finger presses the front part of one side circumferential surface of the blade body 200 through the plurality of auxiliary grip projections 530, it is possible to prevent the index finger from slipping, thereby increasing the grip sense along with the plurality of main grip projections 520.
