For those that wonder about edc a large knife

[Spots]

This is the best way. I just got this sheath from Two Drunken Celts leather. Its a small blade cover sheath with a stud to keep it from sluding through the belt. You simply slide the knife behind the belt or for concealed you slide it in the waistband at about the 4 o clock postion vertically. This is one of my bowies for reference. 10.5" blade. This is one Ill be carrying often from now on.

Nice set up Spots . The third pic is special.

Yep! The last pic is by far the best. The contrast of the pelt and the sheath is great.

Nice sheath for a nice knife. 

 

When the law changed, I decided that I might like to carry a belt knife with a blade of about four and a half to five inches or so.  Then I discovered a problem.  The problem is that a sheath knife, my cell phone and - if I belt carry - my carry gun all 'want' to be in the same spot on my belt.  I guess I could re-position the cell phone or carry the knife on my off side but I don't like having stuff hanging all over my belt like Batman.   I could pocket carry the cell phone on my weak side and pocket carry my 642 on the strong side with the knife on my belt but I also don't like having my pockets stuffed full.  I will not carry a gun SOB and having a big knife hanging down in that position just plain wouldn't work.

 

I am very warm natured so wearing shorts and t-shirts whenever possible in warm weather is very nearly a survival tactic.  However, I've just about decided that when the weather turns cool enough that I go back to wearing long pants instead of shorts when I am 'out and about' I am going to try the boot knife/ankle carry approach for a fixed blade.  I have also considered possibly making a vertical sheath for a fixed blade and trying that in the SOB position.  I did see, somewhere, a pocket sheath that someone had made that held a cell phone, fixed blade knife and maybe a flashlight.  That would be a pretty good setup but the knife would probably have to be limited to a blade of three inches or less and wouldn't be any more immediately accessible than a pocket knife which, for me, largely defeats the purpose of carrying a fixed blade in the first place.  In fact, in the pocket I could probably carry a folder with a larger blade than a fixed blade would allow.

When I carry both my gun and my fixed blade knife, the knife goes on the left with the spare mag and the gun on the right.  Works for me because I'm left handed but shoot right handed.  Phone goes in the pocket, I don't like wearing a phone on my belt... if its too big to fit in a pocket, it's not a phone anymore IMO.  When I add the BUG to the mix, my pockets do get pretty dang full.  And I'm not a real big person.
