I have a boker gnome and I would absolutely not carry it as an edc or tac. simply because of the terrible sheath. it has no retention. just carrying it around the house on two different days it has slipped out three times. twice I didn't even notice and had to search the house for it. wearing it on the belt isn't much better, with the handle situated up it even still managed to pop out once. that's with the new sheath, old one sounds like it was better. blade itself is great tho
