Christmas knife for my rush moab6?

[TheMadIndian]

I got myself a new edc bag for my birthday and I haven't wanted to take my bk11 out of my moab 6's concealed compartment, so I told the wife I'd like to get another bk11 for the new bag as I have a tendency to forget to move items between bags when I'm "sharing" items. So she says another one? it will be my 3rd and I thought for a 2nd there is no reason for me to stay under 4" with the moab6 as it won't go to nyc anymore so I don't need to worry about the 4" limit. I don't have a 16 so maybe I could make that work and complete the tweeners is the 16 smaller than the 17?

I tried my 15

I tried my 17 with my sheath

and trailbum's

I tried my mora bushcraft black

Two of my asks on my Christmas list was a bk5 and a bk24 so I don't want to get the 24 just in case. Will the bk16 fit? Do I have any other options before I buy another bk11? It tucks away perfect

BK16 & BK17 are the exact same length.

Thanks, thank means it won't fit maybe I can figure out a different way to mount it to keep it out of sight

if I had a moab 6, I could help you brainstorm.

It's a great little bag, had it 2 years now. I just got the moab 10 it's much nicer for when you're carrying some weight or need to tote a laptop

If you can't find a suitable Becker, I can think of 3 options:
one - make (or get someone to make for you) a set of extra-long scales for an 11/14/24
two -- shop this January 1 sale of ready to ship knives from JK
three --- contact one of our resident makers, such as Daizee, Todd, Terrio, or Bensinger -- and see what they would be willing to make in your price range.

I was checking out the MOAB the other day at a local sporting goods store. Nice bag. I almost bought one, but I just got a Hill People Gear Tarahumara. I may still get the MOAB.

A 16 wrapped in kydex is significantly smaller than the factory sheath.

I liked that bird and trout, I have a standing ask to Daizee for a certain knife that may actually fit the bill but I'm patient ;-)

I could see you with the moab 10 and the cool thing about the 6 and 10 is if you have any of the rush backpacks these can bolt on as attachment bags to the backpack line up

I tried the 17 with a trailbum sheath it pokes out
