Is this the Tatanka ?

Not a big deal but why does the pocket clip have that upper hole. Endura/Delica clip overstock or something? The large Lum I got yesterday has the same clip is why I was curious.
On a handle that large that space could definitely be used to make it carry lower.
 
Maybe with such a big knife they felt it needed all the holding power the third screw would provide. The Bison is a heavy beast! :)

As long as it is, deep pocket carry might push it so far down, it wouldn't fit in a small pocket.
 
With a folder that long closed and approaching 10 ounces you may be better off carrying it in a pouche.

I'm curious to see how wide it is.

That's what I was thinking also,specs on this knife says 9.5 ounces.

Not the screw hole, the lanyard hole. Take a look at the Endura for one example and that hole is where the lanyard threads through. This knife, and my large Lum, for another example, have no lanyard hole there but the clip does.
I'm going to put a low clip there anyway. It will still have enough hanging out of the pocket for a grip, similar to the Manix 2 XL.

That photo is denoted as a "production prototype", so I imagine that may not be the clip that is going to come with the knife...

Again, not a big deal, I'll change the clip anyway but check out the Lum large Chinese, it has the same clip. I've been trying to load a picture but ImageShack won't let me today for some reason. :mad:
I probably wouldn't have even noticed but looking at my Chokwe the other day I saw that hole and realized I'd put an Endura clip on it by mistake after removing the low clip for another knife. Now it's just stuck in my head.
