For some time I have been toying with the idea of a way to carry a legal fixed blade in my vehicle in such a way that it would be easily available if needed but inconspicuous. After looking at several designs, I got a plain edge CRKT Bear Claw from 1SKS. This small but adequate design has an excellent quick-release sheath and a handle which, while very secure-feeling, looks almost nothing like a weapon, or even a knife handle for that matter. I then approached Matt Draper (a.k.a Waxes Eloquent, custom Concealex craftsman extraordinaire) to see if he could turn my idea into reality. I must say his work exceeded my wildest expectations. He devised a Custom Car Claw Carry system in which the knife falls readily to hand without looking, and can be easily and unobtrusively unsheathed. The fastening system Matt devised and created places the standard (and well-made) CRKT quick-release sheath close to the driver's seat, attached to the console by a heavy-duty Concealex backing plate which is rock-steady but can be easily installed or removed without tools. Thanks to its design, color and location, the entire rig is almost completely inconspicuous from even a few feet away. Thanks, Matt - I love it when a plan comes together!
