Carry system for 7-8 inch blades

for larger blades, I favor a dangler type sheath. Another carry method I like is a baldric carry rig. I have carry systems that feature a combination of these features as well.

RPN: can you show a pic of the Rainwalker sheath with the knife in it and on a belt? That's a really sweet setup that I might have to order for my 711

I don't have one of it being carried, but here are a couple of other pics...

As you can tell..I like this style! :D:thumbup:
 
When i carry a pistol at my waist, instead of in my pocket, i use the kydex belt attachment below at an angle on my left side for a cross draw. It works very well.

I like the idea of horizontal carry but state law prohibits concealed carry and I don't tuck my shirt in so that would be a no go. To be honest the way the law reads it would be iffy to have it in your pack.

Anyone try samurai style? Basically horizontal carry on the front weak side with the handle canted up 20-30 degrees. I ordered kydex from azwelke and will play around and see what works. I like the idea of it in front so it's accessible in a seated position. My girl likes to knit when we car camp and needs threads cut every so often.

Shotgun are you referring to carry here in Oregon?
The only limits on carry style I am aware of here, refer to double edge or autos.
I have carried concealed for years, and all the law enforcement guys and gals I have trained agreed that the limits only applied to double edge or autos.
hope this helps!
be safe...

I've heard the same but I've heard the opposite as well. As far as concealed carry the state law says something like "with exceptions of a common pocket knife" which leaves a lot of leeway for a prosecutor. And that dosen't get into local jurisdictions. Like I said I doubt there's an issue but why not carry openly and not worry about it?

Mainly to avoid unwanted attention from shiple. Knives are seen as an instrument of terror rather then as a useful day to day tool.
 
Don't carry anything directly across your spine on your lower back that isn't flat. Ask police and the numerous ones/stories they have heard about lumbar spine injuries why. Any fall or slip onto the flat of your back changes in nature when you have a force-multiplier/focal point of hard object on your spine. Other than that good suggestions in this thread.

Good point. I can't carry that way anyway. It's never felt natural/comfortable for me. Even with tiny neck knives.
