Fixed blade carry ?

[1911Sooner]

The Esee 3 at over 8" is still a pretty big pocket knife. The Tops Ferret is half that size and fits perfectly in it's sheath in my front pocket.

Thats the older guidelines. Will pull up the new ones here soon.

Hmmm I carry a Kershaw Leek daily. I wonder if it's considered a "spring type"

 

[otis147]

nah, you have to open the blade for it to engage. hell, slipjoints have a spring.

Yep horizontal just to the left of my center line so I can get it with my right or left hand. Ether a Coye Ridgeback or TOPS street scalpel.

How are you folks carrying fixed blades? I want to but would want to carry it horizontal...I think.

I wear one nearly every day either a Moore maker or one of my customs. I wear them all in a sideways sheath. At the 11 o'clock position. Very comfortable either in a vehicle or horseback never know it's there. I wear a trapper in the same style in the same position if I don't wear a fixed blade. Ed jones from okc made a couple of my sheaths to fit his knifes had docs saddle shop in mustang make the others.

I'm guessing reading OK's laws that a neck knife is legal just because I don't see anything specifically banning them from what I've seen? I've been considering a neck knife for awhile, being disabled with my issues, I'm a big fan in stacking things in my favor as much as possible just because I can't fight back in a manner that I used to beforehand.

I bought a DPX HEST fixed blade original and it's a fantastic knife but too big for a neck knife for me. Would make a great knife for carrying otherwise but not on the neck. I've been considering an Esee Izula but recently saw a Fred Perrin Shark or Griffe which might be better choices. Either way I want to make sure they are legal for carry in OK?

 

[otis147]

i've neck carried the izula, it's not too bad, been neck carrying the candiru for several months now, its a good choice too. they're releasing a new sheath after blade, so you wouldn't have to get aftermarket kydex

No length limit from state law but various towns might have a limit. No bowies, dirks or daggers. The law is vague enough that you can never be sure. Carry at your own risk.

this.... knife laws are very vague to say the least, most leo are as unfamiliar with these laws as well so its mainly hit and miss to what is classified 'legal'...
