Outdoor Edge "tactical" skinner

[shootist16]

You guys may think I am crazy for saying this, but.....

I just got an Outdoor Edge Whitetail Skinner. I was thinking that it would make for an excellent backup duty knife. The sheath carries the knife in a horizontal position. The belt loop fits perfectly through the strap of my bullet proof vest. I can wear it under my shirt, totally concealing it. I can also draw it easily. The knife would make for a great slasher. The grip is secure. As an added bonus it has a nifty seatbelt cutter.

What do you guys think?

Good knife. Perhaps a kydex sheath designed for horizontal belt carry would be great. That way you don't have to fus with the flap on the sheath for speedy retrieval.

Hey! I kinda like that ugly thing!

It would also make for a very useful camp knife (except as a chopper -- for that I use an axe anyway).

I was thing the same thing. Might have to have one made for it.

It would also make for a good camp knife.

Ever notice how versatile "hunting" knives are?

Hey man,

If you like the knife and think it'd make a fitting backup, go for it.

You can never have too much backup...

If I wanted the knife for defensive purposes I would grind off the gut hook. The last think I would risk is getting the blade hung up on something at close quarters. Fabric has a way of bunching up and failing to cut.
