EDC Fixed Blades: What and how do you carry?

[NH Shooter]

KA-BAR Modified Tanto

The sheath was modified, mostly by removing 1.5" of excess length from the bottom and removal of the top retainer strap. The whole rig rides quite comfortably in the pocket standing and sitting, remains concealed under a loose-fitting shirt and is held stable with the belt. Live Free or Die knife laws.

In "nice clothes" I use a "China Pick" in the standard sheath (that I ground down), with a DCC clip, IWB, behind my belt, then blouse my shirt over it. It's not perfect, but it works (most of the time).

In "jeans clothes," same CP, but in a DSG sheath, per Shivworks protocol.

ETA: I just realized that you can see my other sheath and belt in the background.

That looks like it would hide well behind a necktie in a suit too.

You're making me miss my late coworker who carried (and somehow dodged jail for all the times he used) his Ka-Bar IWB behind the hip after modifying the sheath during his dope slinging days in the city after 'Nam. Plus whatever gun caught his fancy at the time, which was a .44 N-frame (used far less but got a one-shot-stop on a sidewalk payphone) through a good chunk of the eighties. I haven't visited his grave is a while and need to fix that the next time I'm in that part of the state.

What DCC clip do you use? I want to build another CP sheath that I can use when wearing sweat pants(or other non belt pants)that carries in the standard location. I use the JMCK sheath when I am using a belt.

Pretty sure it's the Mod 3 Mini (though it's been awhile)

Here is my Gen1 China Pick, which I took an angle grinder to the egg on. Wrapped it in BJJ finger tape for grip and use a Velcro One Wrap to hold it into my belt. This lays very flat on my belt.

I need to try the velcro wrap on my Cinch Pick Gen 1. The handle pokes out more than I like. I do wear the sheath under my belt but it still protrudes. I told Santa Claus I'd like a double edged Clinch Pick for Christmas, we'll see.

That’s ghetto AF. I like it.

Oyea, it’s illegal to CC a fixed blade in my state now. No pics for the peanut gallery.

Good thing you have that stopping you. For me, this thread is getting me thinking I need to buy another Clinch Pick after selling mine a couple years ago. That or get into something else in the sub-$200 range that's more defense-oriented than the Izula.
