    I know that's spectacularly unhelpful, but I would say that experimenting with a few different sizes and brands is cheap, and in the end, you'll have extra zip ties...
    I appreciate the quick response.

    In the desert, looking for water.
    I don't think that would work with the Native. I'd have to steal it back from my wife to check, though, so someone else will have to test it b/c I'm not doing that.

    If folks want to "inexpensively" try out waved folders first hand.

    The Kershaw-Emerson CQC4K - https://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/cqc-4k <3.25" spearpoint blade
    The Kershaw-Emerson CQC3k - https://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/cqc-3k <2.75" tanto blade

    Both can be setup for reverse draw and carry like a P'Kal folder. Both can be had for under 30 bucks. I find the CQC3k to be about ideal in terms of size and grip in reverse grip setup, but the 4K offers more purchase and easier draw stroke for those with larger hands. I have now given away four CQC4Ks to people and they find them quite useful. Pivots are tight initial and I find the knives should be disassembled and cleaned and oiled right out of the box. I sometimes carry the 3K when I feel I might need a "normal" knife for cutting chores. Rather than whip out the P'kal and make the natives at the watering hole restless.

    Also, just to note - the P'Kal has a 2.95" long blade with a 2.78" edge length. It is, in fact, a bit shorter than a Delica in the handle, but it is wider.

    Here's a review. Scroll down the page that comes up.

    And a google link to some videos.

    Not familiar with that particular knife personally.

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    If you read the review @blues linked to, it was a collaboration between Emerson and David Grossman, who is responsible for the whole "sheepdog" mess.
    Myself, I find it ironic that Grossman has a company called "Sheepdog Knife and Gun", considering that he has made some less than approving statements about the "civilian" carry of firearms.

    Judas H Priest, that’s a terrible name for a knife. Pass with gas.

    Aside from the name and its name sake, any opinions on the knife itself?

    I’m also looking at different ZT knives.
