if ya dress like me (ie jeans/sweats/shorts) have bud make the knife w/a MASS system NOT the MCS - i honestly didnt care for the MCS at all, BUT the MASS ROCKS imho. much more versatile for me, just works better the way i dress/carry knives.
i also think nealy is one of the best w/fixed blades, imho, esp w/the system he makes, MASS, to carry the knife.
why didnt i like the MCS??
*no way to carry IWB except by adding a 1/4" nylon strap which goes thru your belt. didnt work well for me even w/a belt, and what about swaets/etc w/out a belt?? wont work. also looked cheap to me.
*MCS seems to be designed more for people in suits/etc than the way i dress. or boot wearers, again, not me.
*but, most of all, the MCS seems to be a system designed to do a lot of things, regrettably none of them well. sure, lotsa options, but no really good options. imho too much of a universal carry all, which, in practice/use, doesnt work well in any of its forms.
go with the MASS, i tried both, and the MASS is much better imho. when i got the MASS, the knife went from rarely being carried (or not at all w/the MCS) to my most carried sheath knife. what can i say??
just my .02 worth
