Shlomo, I forgot to mention that sheathing the knife after use - on the right side behind the handgun- is a problem for me.  Not being able to glance at where the knife is going, I might slice off a bit of butt cheek

I agree on the price point. Did not even think about the right hand carry. I do think marketed right at the sportsmans shows they may well pull this off though. This seems like one of those knives you would have to put into someones hands to sell it

Hahaha.  A possibility, Shlomo.  Course, that's where the canteen goes (behind the handgun) a la mil spec., lol.  The old WWII issue Cattaraugus 225-Q & Case 337-Q knives were issued with left handed sheaths.  I like the balance of having a handgun on one hip and a knife on the other, but again, I am left-handed, so it works for me.

Why not wear it behind your holster -- It isn't as if you'd be using it for attack scenarios when you have a handgun?

Part II.  I know it is an old axe to grind, but lots of outdoor folk don't go in the woods without a handgun, depending on the fauna in their area.  Now, most people are right handed.  Exceptions are Tobias and myself.  Nevertheless, I was taught to shoot handgun right-handed, so include me in the "Righties" here.  The handgun will naturally go on the right hip for most everybody - cause they're right-handed, so where does this fancy knife go with its fabulous, hand made, right-handed sheath?  On the left, naturally, but it ain't a left-handed sheath, and I didn't see a left-handed option.  So, after paying $700. for the knife, and sheath that I can't use, I have to spend another $100. for a lefty sheath.  Yeah, you could carry it inverted on your pack strap or harness, but we're talkin hunting knife, not survival knife.

Actually you can get two (2) Randalls (http://www.randallknves.com/catalog-models/) for that price since most of their knives are in the $340 to $380 price range.

Field and Stream says it is priced at $700.  Way to steep for me.  Hell, you could get a Randall, for that price.  Of course, Randalls don't come in CPM S35VN.  As it is listed on Gerber in the "Hunting" section, the 4" blade is a reasonable length, but IMO it is too short for an all-around "woods" knife.  While the handle looks "pretty", I would sooner have an all Micarta or G-10 handle.  Unless I win the Powerball, I won't be buying one.

Great concept for the contest Tobias!  Thank you for all you do!

Thanks for the heads-up, Tobias.
