J-HUNTER, I guess my first question would be why would you need to carry your k-bar? most every body I know carries a pocket knife, mines a gerber easy out that clips into my jean pocket, laws are tricky here , last time I checked it was a felony to carry a concealed knife of over 3 inches, but only a misdemenor to carry a loaded handgun , go figure ! anyhow I live near San Diego and if I can help in any way let me know, Bill Goodson
