Pocket Carry Fixed Blade

I wanted one of those but they were $$$.

I think I saw you reference that set up on another thread. Is that what you refer to as the shark fin holster?
Also the OAL would be helpful. Are you still wearing Deluth shorts?

Yes, that's the "sharkfin" or hook that hangs on the pocket to release the sheath as you draw the knife.
The OAL is 7.25"

Yea, and they hold their value because I paid Crusader a decent price for it.
But it's been worth every penny.

I approve of this carry method.

A semi-custom fixed blade P'kal I picked up off the TPI forum. I've never seen another one like it.

What is the TPI forum?

The MDTS/RCS Moduloader Pocket Shield works well for this. A Spyderco Reverse with some reduced scales has been pretty solid, as is a production Clinch Pick. I've used a cord wrapped Ban Tang CP and it's thinner yet but have stopped as I don't wanna lose that particular knife.

I'd look to any of the appropriately priced Chinese knives and a shield. The biggest issue I have with the dedicated pocket sheaths is location. The P'kal Jody posted has a fixed location by way of clip, the others just sorta hang out.

I've been using a TDI knife for pocket carry for awhile now, works really well for that role.


I keep getting the urge to find a blade that is more utility oriented, but in this same TDI/Clinch Pick size range, so that it can do double duty as a working blade. Anyone have a suggestion on such a knife, maybe in stainless?

I definitely would love one of these or a Shiv Works Disciple. Too bad they are no longer available. I might pick up a Reverse and do some modifications. We'll see....

Chuck, the Esee Izula and Candiru come to mind, as well as the White River Knives Knucklehead and the Justin Gingrich/White River Knives GTI series.
