Wanted to collect my thoughts before getting back to you.
The Cub has proven itself worthy and continues to be my go to EDC defensive blade. The larger than most handle design with the large flared pommel area and cord wrap handle make it perfect for my hands in any fighting position.
My only gripe would be the sheath. The sheath that comes with the Cub is serviceable, but lacks refinement and is not the easiest for a quick re-sheathing of the blade. Also the Cub Trainer does not fit in the factory sheath. These factors lead me to send both my Cub and Trainer to Blade Rigs to ave AIWB sheaths made for each blade.
I could not be happier with the finished products I received from Blade Rigs. They have made carry and training second nature. However this was a substantial investment. I am now all in on this deign for more than I could buy a RAT package for. That being said, I can live with this expense because I now have a blade package that does everything I need it to and is ergonomically the best I have ever had. My Watson HiTS Ti still lives in my patrol vest for it's corrosion resistance and a steel HiTS and a Gamboa take turns riding in my SWAT gear, but this Cub is my go to for EDC.
I took my Cub and Trainer to a Defoor Proformance 2 day rifle class in May. Anyone who has trained with Kyle knows that you get a lot more than just rifle work in one of his classes. He spent a good portion of time on the second day discussing blade philosophy and use and we drilled it later on. During the blade "show and tell" portion of the day myself and another student both had our Cubs. The experienced blade people in the class, including Kyle, were all very impressed with the deign and the general consensus was pretty much Sosby "gets it".
I am thrilled still with my Cub overall as you can see. I realistically don't need anything else, but I will be getting a backup cub eventually. Maybe even one of those awesome double edged ones.
Another note to anyone looking to get into blades stuff, go to a training! If you are unsure which popular design is right for you, they will likely all be brought by the different students in the class. It's a great way to try before you buy. For instance, I got to check out basically the full line of Head Hunter stuff and confirmed that the RAT is just way too small and narrow for me. That would have been a costly mistake had I jumped on one earlier.
