KBAR TDI placement....

[GMThunder]

Should I consider my weak hand? or strong? I'm assuming that if my strong side (right) is bound or restrained. Should I carry the KBAR in assumption for access to my weak to give me a better option to free my right hand?

[J.P.]

Exactly.
That is it's intended purpose.
I wear mine almost dead center of my belt with the handle oriented toward the left (weak hand)

I tried one on each side but the TDI design didn't work well for me that way.
If I could ever get me hands on any of the Shivworks stuff,I'd again consider carying one on each side.
Ka-Bar makes another TDI variant that is an ankle knife I believe.
If we could get someone to design a horizantal belt sheath for it *cough* *Mike Brown* *cough* it would be a good alternative as well.

Are you carrying the TDI in the factory sheath or one of the Shawn's Tactical sheaths from OPS?

[Michael Brown]

Actually all you'd need to do is orient the new sheath the same way.

Someone would just need to make them.

Either way, buy a Disciple and trainer too. You will NOT be sorry. It will be $280 VERY well spent.

I prefer the Disciple but the Clinch Pick is far more popular and thus harder to get when they come around.

Mike,
I have a problem acquiring the TDI in a handle forward draw.
What i mean is...
I can draw it from a crossdraw position by pulling it from the sheath with my weak hand but I cannot draw it with my stronghand,overhand, with any kind of effective grip beacuse of the angle of the TDI
The Shivworks knives seem to negate that problem.
