Some question about the Street Beat?

Due to my work, I am looking for a fixed blade to be carried on my non-dominant side, and the Street Beat seems to be my best option for now. I know this sentence sounds like more appropriate for the Prac-Tactical forum, but I just have a couple of questions for the owners of the knife that are not really about knife fighting and stuff, so I hope it is OK to post here. And here there are:

1. Can you move the G-clip on the other side of the sheath for left-hand carry?
2. Does the G-clip work OK without belt, or in other words, is it stiff enough to hold onto just the waistband?
3. Is the handle comfortable for different grips, especially reverse grip/icepick grip?
4. Is it easy to take the knife out of the sheath if it is set up for reverse grip? I have had knives, that you have to press the sheath with the thumb to get the blade out or it would be nearly impossible to have your knife ready. And in this case, using it for reverse grip is not a good idea at all.

Thank you for your time and information. :)
 
The G clip is able to be positioned on either side. I love the G-clip without a belt. Reverse grip edge out is fabulous. It works well edge in but is best edge out. The knife comes out with a firm tug no need for a thumb push. The street beat is my favorite small fixed blade. It is the most comfortable knife I own. Fred Perrin's designs are amazing and the spyderco version is great. You will not be disappointed with it. The only problem I have is that I love it so much I am standing on my head waiting on the Street Bowie to be released.
 
^ Totally agree. The Street Beat is a must have for anyone that likes small fixed blades.
 
Best part of the G-clip is that you can use it without a belt. I bought a Tek-lok version of the G-clip after I sold my Street Beat, but nothing compares. The G-clip lets you carry even when you're in sweat pants.
