I have many but only 2 that I consider the best.

The first one, I carried from 1976 to 1992. I carried it onmy belt with a modified loop of braided 550 cord. This set up allowed the sheath to lay sideways across my back on my belt with the handle facing the right side. It was a 3.5 in blade spear/drop point "Weastern" ( I believe the model # was 14, the new ones are Mod # 84. Never gets in the way and is also a great thrower.

The second is one I assembled from a 6in Solingen Korium blade Epoxied into a drilled out "practice' Tanto handle, (a black plastic material by Cold Steel). The knife is not the prettiest, but it is an exceptional handler. very sleek.

An old team SOP was to throw your biggest knife last. We all carried about 5.
