Recommendation? Bird & Trout?

My buddy John prefers to carry his Horizontal sheath on the hip. But he is VERY thin.

I prefer more over the left front pocket:

Yes that particular Sonoran Belt Knife currently in stock is in elk and 26C3 high carbon steel. It's the one in the pics above. Here it is in its sheath:

The sheath has great retention and there is an audible clunk when the knife is inserted into the sheath. You will notice a V shape in the welt stitching, (second line of stitching up from the bottom). This V shape is the out line of the welt. So the front of the finger guard hits the welt at the front of the V before the tip of the knife contacts the welt and end of the sheath. This helps with the retention but also helps a guy not to shove the pointy knife through the from of the sheath by accident. You can turn the knife and sheath upside down and shake as vigorously as you can, the knife won't budge.

As far as printing I think that's going to depend on your body type, size and the cover garment so hard to say. Those two pics above were taken while I was wearing a pair of Cinch jeans. The belt loop arrangement on the jeans makes a bit of a difference too. The Wranglers (20X) I've switched to allow the knife to be worn more towards the belt buckle so less to stick out. So that's gonna matter too.

Warranty: My fault, forever as long as I'm physically able to and N/C. Your fault: Small shop fee and shipping, usually bout $25. I don't do much warranty work. Mostly a broken tip here and there and we all know how that happens. You mentioned something to be able to pass down and I do think of my knives as generational. I've got thousands out there being used and abused in some very tough environments. They just keep on keeping on.

Hope this helps. The other two guys you mentioned make excellent knives too!
Dave, I left you a message on FB.
