I just like bowies because being from az they really capture that cowboy vibe for me.

Ok I actually tried this inner waistband thing the other day with my Natchez and handmade sheath,I was kinda surprised that it actually worked pretty well with cargo pants and a loose long shirt. Wasn't super comfortable but wasn't too bad,I wouldn't want to sit down with it. And was a bit awkward to resheath the knife,although it was easy to get out. I just had it straight down my right leg,and none of my work mates could tell ! :) Until of course i told them and the wind blew the shirt tight over it. If we could carry arms in Oz I'd definitely carry this

If we could carry arms in Oz I'd definitely carry this Try moving the knife to different positions on your hip, you'll find your "sweet spot" where it will be comfortable. You take the sheath out to resheath it. Hell I wear slim fitting pants and my knife disappears, even to me! Draw and cut motions are possible if you have it set for cavalry draw (edge facing forward). I've been keeping my windlass on me for my edc like this.

No real point as its not legal to carry ANYTHING in Australia in public. The only time I carry mine is when I'm hunting,and then I'd much rather have it on my belt. I only tried it out of interest,nothing more than that. I can't see it being particularly comfortable or hidden with tight arse skinny jeans,not that I'd wear them anyway.

I'll get some photos up later today, it doesn't print or anything.

I agree that price doesn't always affect quality. Moras can (or at least, could a few years ago) be had for under $10 and they are very high quality blades. Beckers aren't that cheap, but certainly affordable. Green rivers are good kitchen/food prep/hunting knives for $10-20. That being said, I agree that if you have a sturdy knife as it is, buying a cheap custom cutlery of unknown quality isn't an ideal progression and the fact that not all cheap knives are bad is not an endorsement for cheap knives. I've owned far more junk cheap knives than good cheap knives. What about cold steel recon scout? They can be had second hand easily enough and a new handle could be made without much trouble. I put an oak handle on my trailmaster (same basic knife, with a longer blade) and it's much better now. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good quality kitchen knives that LAST. Not knives that break off their hinges or blunt really fast because of lower quality materials. I just need to know of a few good brands and where I can buy them. Thank you
