1. A knife case comprising a first case and a second case, the knife case configured to make a knife with a blade and a handle lockable in a closed state using a slide lock member while housing the blade in a housing space formed in the closed state and exposing the handle from the housing space, the closed state being a state where the first case and the second case face each other and that are coupled to each other via a hinge, wherein
the first case includes:
a first surface part;
a first wall part formed in such a manner as to project from an edge of the first surface part in a direction perpendicular to the first surface part;
a magnet provided at the first surface part to face the second case in the closed state;
a blade passage part formed in a short-side direction of the first case opposite to the hinge, and configured to allow a connection of the blade with the handle to pass therethrough in the closed state;
a heel support part provided closer to the hinge than the blade passage part and formed of a ridge projecting from an edge of the first surface part or from the vicinity of the edge in a direction perpendicular to the first surface part so as to prevent a heel of the knife from coming off the housing space in the closed state;
a guide part provided at an edge portion opposite to the hinge in such a manner as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the first case, and guiding movement of the slide lock member; and
the slide lock member attached to the guide part and configured to be slidable along the guide part between a closing position defined in the closed state and an opening position defined in an opened state,
the second case includes:
a second surface part to face the first surface part in the closed state;
locked parts provided at an edge portion opposite to the hinge and are located at a plurality of positions including both ends of the slide lock member in a longitudinal direction thereof in the closed state; and
a ridge provided at a position to face the heel support part in the closed state and projecting from the second surface part in a perpendicular direction, and
by moving the slide lock member from the opening position to the closing position, the guide part and the locked parts are covered with the slide lock member to lock the knife case at the plurality of positions including the both ends of the slide lock member in the longitudinal direction thereof simultaneously so as to prevent release of the second case from the first case.
