    Yep, attached to the factory sheath, by the mouth, spine side. One of these: https://discreetcarryconcepts.com/Mo...ini-p115977218

    Easy to transfer on and off, secure, stays in place on basketball shorts, track pants, jeans and chinos. Will post up a pic later.

    Tried my best to get a couple pics of it on without bothering the lady, as she was working.

    Thank you! I like your solution a lot better than the one I had been contemplating.

    Yeah, I've been fiddling with smaller fixed blades for a long time, trying to find a solution that actually works for me in terms of comfort (I move around a lot throughout the day compared to most people with large range of motion), concealability (even if legal, social circumstances present big drawbacks to getting made), accessibility (no good if it's not convenient to use to actually cut things). Being tall/long torso with a small waist makes horizontal OWB a no-go, and doesn't permit the downward angled Clinch Pick setup without serious wardrobe modifications.

    A lot of single point attachments rotate too much, which can be good for comfort, but the knife sticks in a sheath with decent retention if the draw angle isn't perfect, and you just are yanking your pants up. Even more likely to happen with many taco style kydex sheets having all the attachment points on the edge side (for a "normal", edge down blade).

    I have a set. Really changes the character of the knife.

    Those look like an improvement over my shoelace handle.

    This was my wife's Izula, (we were gifted two by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin years ago when they first came out), but I sent mine as a gift to one of our members here for his son, so I stole my wife's.


    I have Tom's (Dark Star Gear) "Belt Wrap Sheath" for when I want to use the Izula as more than a neck knife.

    Absolutely. It goes from being a "neck knife" (piece of heavy jewelry that is good for opening boxes) to a working knife.

    Joe, what attachment method are you using? I have the sheath and the clip, but the screws on the DCC site are too short. Thanks.
