Serpa Holster and all!
"Greg designed this knife from direct input from THE most elite soldiers in the world. Operational experience built this knife. Thousands of entries into really bad buildings in IZ and AF. It was not dreamed up by video gamers, not range commandos, not cops. Assaulters at the highest level, who have been blind sided and tackled while clearing nasty places were the driving input for this knife."
Hyperbole much?

I would wind up stabbing myself I think.
I know I would.
A man's got to know his limitations.

Holding the knife in reverse grip, it's awful easy to do.
you never really own a knife until it draws first blood, and 99% of the time that first blood is yours.
"...,not cops."
Back in the day when most of the really cool guy snake eaters wanted to learn hostage rescue they went to who to learn how to do it?
Anyway, I've played with similar ideas before, and I still think it's a soup sandwich.
A knife that I know was designed and used by actual cool guys would be this one (the first one I saw was handmade and being carried by Ken Good back in the SureFire Institute days);

I know that is MSG Paul Howe's choice of close-quarters steel. That should speak volumes.
Really?you never really own a knife until it draws first blood, and 99% of the time that first blood is yours.
Whatever gave you that idea?
I attended a Kyle Defoor two day pistol class where there was quite a bit of talk and a few demo's of employing a small knife in a tight situation. He went into a lot of detail on what to look for in one and was carrying a Tracker Dan Bloodshark.
The key points being it easy to conceal and easy of use from either hand from the carry position. The custom made sheath for the Blood shark was also a huge talking point of the knife. He also mentioned a few off the shelf knives that could be modded to allow for ease of use and concealment.
Kyle was getting half second draws and hits with his knife during the class, and it was defiantly and eye opener for those of us in the class that thought we were ok just carrying a folder.
The biggest turn off for the SOCP I can see is the loop.
I have linked a few of the threads discussing the Bloodshark below.
