haha... and I tought that.... the lenght of the knife was a phallic symbol....
Mike, you could never be more right. Unfortunately I am forced to use the tools God gave me, check out the girth though!
You are only as sharp as your knife

Just like the size of the vehicle or the size of the watch or the number of accessories on the rifle?

Mike - the overcompensation means you are hung like gnat... sorry.
Glad I didn't post in this thread before now.
well, as I wondered in my previous post here, where do you place usually your combat knife? The doctrine is often advisable to place it on the left shoulder (for right handed) as in this pic (SOF Colonel) but.. often I found myself really bad. I mean.. I don't use ALICE but MOLLE jacket, the shoulder straps of the backpack bother, when crowling on the ground there is the risk of losing it... suggestions?

haha oh yes troll... I got what LL said...LOL
I prefer to have my BFK either in front of the pistol or behind it - if behind, so it doesn't interfere with pistol draw, if in front so the pistol doesn't interferre with the knife.
I'm working with a vest right now and figuring out how to place stuff since some stuff can't move (sewn down).

Me too... Troll let me know the result of your tacvest... seems interesting... cause I don't want to seem scubadiver with my BFK locked to my calf... (Big F... Knife!....god, these Americans.....)
I wear my home made bowie (about a 5 inch long, 1.5 inch wide blade) on the small of my back, handle facing my right hand side. I wear it on my pant belt and not on my equipment.
I like that method myself (OK I watched "The Hunted" and was visited by the good idea fairy) but found it gets to be a PITA sitting in a vehicle.
Mike, If you can get a rigger to make a MOLLE sleeve that you can mount behind a pouch that works OK but bulks it out a wee bit. I've done it on fixed pouch vest before as well.
LOL, I started wearing my knife that way when I was about 13 as an Eagle Scout. Of course back then it was cool to have the Rambo survival knife, with the fishing, fire starter and rope saw kit in the hallow handle.
I tend to use a Bowie or Kukri type fixed blade for a field knife (hunting, camping, mil FTX/OPS).As for riding in trucks, my only real experience with prolonged riding in a vehicle has been on that convoy security deployment. I used a Gerber pocket knife, a Gerber multi tool and a Gerber strap cutter (all issued by Uncle Sugar). Strap cutter and multi tool mounted on my IOTV, pocket knife in the pocket.
The home made job I have now is a piece of shit, steel sucks and won’t keep an edge. I am looking for something to replace it, but have not decided if I want to go “Tacticool or traditional”. I like the looks of that trakker Mike has, but I am thinking it will be a bit too big for me.
I miss the light reading found in the bullet drop thread.
Knives and guns.... what can I say? They are objects that hold my interest for longer than 5 minutes at a time... Oh, look... a bunny....:eek:
ROFLMAO...

It is not the size of the knife that counts..is how you use it..right? Ha..ha!
That looks about right where that knife is for a right-handed person.
That Vegetato Camo is not bad either next to the Ecuadorian!

Good thing I did not say something like...my what a big knife he has...!! Ha..ha! Then I would have put myself in it! Ha..ha! :eek:
