Recently I decided to try a different approach to my knife system for hunting.
Instead of just packing a mediumish fixed blade and a small steel folder.......How about packing a Tarzan size belt knife backed up with what passes for a large ceramic pocket knife? This would give me a better tool for chopping, prying, and heavy work - while the major & fine cutting would be done with the folder.....keeping it's edge, in the field.
Just picked up my Big blade at last weekends knife show. It's a Gerber Bowie with 9" blade. It's rather like the old fighting bowies of the 19th century. (Already have a Puma Ceramic folder)
Any of you Pilgrims pack this size of knife in the woods, much? What is the handiest way to cinch this on to you? In Wild West daze they tended to pack them in the belt, right up front, behind the buckle. This looks like it would get in the way. Is it best just to pack this off one of the hips - like a smaller fixed blade? Any ideas?
I have the sheath as shown. I'm wondering if it would be better to mount it to the upper leg?
