Abstract: A package for transporting and displaying a knife having an exposed blade and a handle includes handle-confining and blade-confining walls for respectively bounding handle and blade compartments having complementary contours to that of the handle and exposed blade, respectively, for resisting relative displacement between the knife and the package during transport and display. Ribs are formed integrally with the package for steadying the blade and the knife, and for stiffening the overall package.
