I like the fixed blade better, but I don't have room to carry anymore blades or tools. I already carry a mini-mag LED on my belt and one of leatherman's expensive lines of multi-tools.
They're both life savers. I find myself using them constantly.
I wish this model came in a folder. There is always room for another knife. If it has a clip you can wear it IWB.

How much are these? Very sexy looking.
I only know MSRP right now which is $140.23 from Ka-Bar. Lets see what Not Your Mamas Knives has em for....$90.95 from there.
If they have a sheath that afixes to the Blackhawk modular dropleg system, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I got a couple of mag pouches in front and behind the holster, but I'd gladly lose one pouch and relocate it to my belt in exchange for the knife.
The sheath has the ability to be mounted to many systems. I am not familiar with your blackhawk rig though.

Now I have one question in regards to mountig mags on a leg rig. I own and operate the BlackHawk rig on a regular basis, but I'm not hip to the idea of a mag on my rig. It's done on a regular basis by mostly every tac squad, but I don't get it. me being a righty that would mean I have to maneuver my weapon to draw my mag from the holster then to do a t actical load is a bitch. Now a mace pouch or a smoke grenage pouch on my rig sounds perfect.

I keep mag pouches on both sides of my gear and I keep two on my vest as well. If you have a situation where your shooting from your support side due to cover, etc. and you need to do a reload, it is easier to grab the mag from the "educated" side and not have to switch hands where you are then unable to cover your target well. If you need to do a one handed tactical reload using your holster as your 2nd hand, it's easier with the magazine right there as well.

Point well articulated! We may have to get together and view some of these things you have presented.
This knife was ordered from notyourmamasknives.com the other day. Got tired of waiting for Bud's Gun shop to get it in stock. I had a notifier from them sent to my e-mail, by the time I logged on to their site they were out. So I said fuck them and spent a $5 more at Not Your Mamas Knives.

Nope it never does seem to be enough.

Sure don't! It's a fixation.
Received this knife yesterday. Sharper than the Hawk Bill Tanto folder that I got. Has nice weight and feel to it. All cleaned up and added to the collection. Yes Matt, another knife to the collection.

Yes, the latter is a better solution.

When did this happen? I thought Cris was a health nut. I don't remember you smoking when I was in Ft.Lauderdale.
Cris is one of those weird health nuts that smokes. He should quit so he can buy more knives.
I smoked before I started working out.

At least you can see Optimus Prime.

Naw, it's all smoke and mirrors. No one's ever seen him in the steel (or whatever autobots are made out of).

What are you talking about? I see him every night before I go to bed. The original metal version also, not the plastic remakes.
Dude, it's gotta be a poser and not the real deal. BTW, Santa's fake too. :bolt:

Why is Cris asking Optimus for shit? We all know he bows to Megatron.
And Matt, Cris has been a smoker as long as we've known him. Where have you been?

Megatrons a bitch. And I never saw him smoke. I only saw him cooking for us. Like he should be!

Speaking of Cris' lord & master, I wonder if he entered this giveaway:

LOL, I will just put a badge on my iphone for that. I don't want that LG phone.
