    This is just a thought that popped into my mind while reading your post. Nothing more than that.

That said, I don't have the time right now to dive into blade training
    I feel the reverse edge method taught by people like Craig Douglas is both pretty simple (hey, if I can learn to use it...) and quick to learn, as well as also fairly universal - ie. not reliant on a special type of blade (that may or may not be legal, difficult ot acquire a new one in case of breakage or loss, etc.). Perhaps instead of looking for the absolutely perfect knife, a simple, effective and fairly universal method of use might be worth looking into..? I realise you said you don't have time for blade training, but don't you have to do some training anyway in order to be able to utilize that perfect knife?

    Anyway, like I said, just a thought.

    It's primarily a point driven method that's taught with a peek at reverse edge beyond that. Point driven supports a wider variety of tools.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

From carrying mine at my 10:30 if the sheath was angled slightly (tip pointed toward tour 12 O’clock) it seems like the grip would disappear as it would be almost parallel with the belt line?
    I’ve got mine in a Bladerigs sheath and carry it oriented in the way you described. It still sticks out, though I think a wedge might help a little with that.

    @ Langdon Tactical. I will bring both the Colonel Blade and the Push Daggers to TacCon. You can see the difference.

    The CP can certainly be set up to be drawn with either hand. I don't think the PD can be. Because of the handle orientation, it needs to be optimized for a specific draw. If you have it for string side access, any way to grab it with the left hand is going to be a similar path as if you were grabbing a strong side pistol with your off hand. It can be done, but it is never going to be ideal.

    Dude, give me four hours and you will have about as workable and functional knife method as you will ever need for 98% of any plausible scenario. Hell, give me two, and we will take care of 80%.

    Oh, that is going to happen. Sounds like a half day of shooting and a half day of stabbing

    Time very well spent and I am sold on the Clinch Pick. Perfect for my needs and very concealable for sure. Thanks for the time, training and the loaner CP.

    Now I have to go buy my own
