Not the best pics but it's late and I'm tired, sorry. Been giving midterms all day and got another one tomorrow, then I have to mark them, adjust them etc, damn I ed t think test were bad when I was a student!

Anyway, bitch over, what I got in the mail today more then made up for it.

Made a bad day better, thanks guys,

Edit: thought I'd add this while I was taking photos

Peter, while you want to wear it in back, it can also be moved around to ride cross-draw at about the 10-11 o'clock position.

Okay some better pictures, managed to get out on our walk with the kids after work today and snapped some.

I'm liking the size and feel of the anniversary knife and the sheath does what I hoped and more, it's comfortable, pretty, tough and sits on my belt like it grew there. Now I'm off school for a week or so I can switch to a full time fixed blade, and i have, . The sheath makes sure there is no movement and gets it out the way yet easy to get to when I need. I'll try the cross draw Rick suggested just as son as I can bare to take it off my belt for a moment.

Anywho...:

This post is my version of the JK stump i guess.

Okay just realized that's mostly knife pics not knife and sheath...tomorrow then.

Hi Peter,
When ever you get a chance can you snap a picture of it worn in the cross draw position? I'm thinking about getting one but not sure if it will stick out the front or back while wearing a tee shirt, hopefully ride close the body.

darkmatter 35: I'd be happy to, John smith

I've been carrying it on my back all afternoon, night now as well i guess, and it has been comfortable walking, jogging, climbing through and under things and sitting on the couch an so far it seems to lays pretty flat as that goes.

okay here we go:

-usual disclaimer about my photo taking ability (it's naf/crap/bad)
-new disclaimer about the fact not even my hip is gonna make it as a model
-I put it at left hand cross draw because it was easier then taking my belt off all the way hope it still give you some idea

First up, just regular side carry (I keep it further back then this), while I was trying it...

Okay, what I understand to be cross draw, comes out a small about an inch, inch and a half maybe, I think it depends on the knife and your waist size, but it feels comfortable enough

With a shirt over it:

Seems to stick out as much as the knife is thick but if you turn, twist the handle comes forward of course. Unless you are unusual to concealed carry or got the clothes for it people would probably be able to notice it if they looked and you were moving at all.

About the only rule I've found about knives here in KY is that attempts to conceal a knife is a no-no, so I don't have much experience with it. (It's actually pretty interesting when you think about it, you can walk down main street wearing your pistol and Kephart on each hip just fine but it you un-tuck your shirt you could be in big trouble without a permit - of course that's the letter of the law, in practice I'd imagine you'd probably get asked a question or two...sounded more interestng in my head.)
