Abstract

A combination pocket knife handle and locket is provided. The pocket knife includes a handle defining a longitudinal axis and includes a pair of handle members, a locket and a hatch for the locket. The handle members define a channel extending along the longitudinal axis. The locket is formed within one of the handle members. The locket has an interior space in which graphic indicia may be provided therein. The hatch is a pivotably attached to the one side of the locket to rotate open and closed to conceal and provide access to the locket. A knife blade is pivotably provided within the channel. In the preferred embodiment, the size and shape of the handle members are thematically related to the graphic indicia provided in the locket.
