They agreed, no one would take it as a weapon in the way it prints.

When seated, the sheath rides up off the button keeping it from falling into a pant leg. The butt of the knife is about 2" below my armpit when seated and is still accessible from that position. Course I've got some practice and carry time in with this system so it comes as second nature as much as it might look awkward to others. The sheath system is designed to "move" with the user. So, sometimes the butt is forward of the armpit, other times straight up and down. The antler handle can be "kicked" forward or to neutral with the elbow depending on which is more comfortable and the activity at the time.

I've hopped fences with it, jumped off 4 foot landing with it. It stay put, till I want it in my hand. Then it's as fast to acquire as my concealed carry firearm on the "other" side. See, I'm right handed with the pistols so the knife is carried on the left side. Fortunately, I'm ambi in many things including the blade work.

It's not that big a knife, I've got bowies I can carry where the blade is 11 1/2" instead of this 9 1/2" daily carried Covington. That's not really going to be a carry knife for body/frame/length of arm in my case, it then is too long when seated and gets to be too much to handle for edc.

Joe, sounds like a great idea, would be good to see you again.



Yup, the one in this link has been sold to a very good friend of mine who is also a long time student of the blades with me.

This one is the one I'm carrying now, in this thread.
Roger that, brownie. That makes sense. I was picturing the sheath staying down the side of your leg when seated. But, I see what you are saying.

Btw, beautiful blade.

Thanks for your thoughts on the knife. The sheath system really makes carrying these large blades pretty easy.
