Thanks I didn't notice the specs tab when I looked earlier.

No problem - I didn't notice it at first either

I am a big neck knife person,which negates a Pikal set up. Equally at other times I will carry in different places along the waistline that can change optimal deployment orientation. Just a "thing" with me, and the HiTS was designed with this in mind. The Pikal blades tend to be one trick ponies. I am also a big lover of the Karambit, which is also a one trick pony. Nothing wrong with it,but training has to be oriented to that design and maximizing the efficiency for that design.

Do you find access when neck carrying an issue? I messed around with it a little, but I found that my hand was constantly chasing the knife even when small amount of movement was involved.
How do you access ring knives? Every time I drew a ring knife My finger was too shallow, which resulted in a poor grip and the only way to rectify that was to bend my wrist.

All this talk of clinch picks and fixed blades is making me envious. Those assbags in Lansing have restricted me to folders.

Here's a great primer on knife grips by Chris Fry of MDTS:

I access Karambits with my index finger and have no issues with it.

The one time I needed to deploy a knife for real in a fight it was a neck knife. There were zero issues and it was almost sub conscious. I find the key is to set them up to hang with the handle between the pecs and in a consistent place so they don't print and access easily.

Before I heard of the clinch pick and such, I used to carry one or two Cold Steel Safekeeper push daggers. Still a viable option I think.
