Which is why it deserves a bad ass place, weakside where you can get it into action for weapons/ gear/ radio/ cigarette retention so when people get froggy, you can get all stabby in the face with them without losing the ability to draw and fire, or not have a firing hand on a long gun. Having my Ka-Bar rigged like that was SUPER handy for making space. Still opened my MRE's with a folder... |

If you want a fixed blade knife, go for it. Just be realistic about its employment. I have a half a dozen fixed blade knives, but the only ones that are on a belt are the historical models. |

I have a small Gerber fixed blade that has replaced my KaBar Mk1 as my pack/all around knife. Folders are handy, but not as strong - I wouldn't rely on one. Having a folder in addition to a small fixed blade seems rational to me however. Two is one and all that. I got that Gerber on sale, gave one away as a Christmas gift and now wish I'd bought more. Great little knife, and yes, I could fight with it if necessary. I'd rather not use the same knife I eat with to stab someone however...but that's me.

Screw it I got all 3.Folder for EDC. Medium fixed blade for chopping down small trees for fort construction. And on the warbelt right behind the holster. A Leatherman super tool 300 in it's own dedicated pouch. After much thought on what I actually use the most. It came down to Folder than Multitool. And last was a fixed blade knife. |

.All comes down to mission IMHO. As it was put to my platoon, if you're going to have a fighting knife, have a fighting knife. If it's a utility knife, while it can be pressed into fighting, use it for utility.
The funny thing is, the next day one of the guys showed up with a Rambo 2 replica knife on his gear... Much hilarity and butthurt ensued. But anyways, if you're putting a warbelt together for survival, and the main point of having a larger fixed blade is for things like chopping wood and such, why not use a better tool like a quality tomohawk or hatchet? Both that would offer more utility, and could be pressed into a fighting nature. Morg308 above me agrees that fixed blades are handy, but not as strong. I also agree with that. But if you're using as a KNIFE, it's not as big of a deal. Sort of like if you use a shovel as a shovel, it will never break. But when you use it as a pick or mattox it will. Right tool for the job and all that. To be clear on my opinion, I'm all for big "fuck off" fighting knives, if they are intended to be used in the right role. For everything else, there's master-card (or a better tool). |

I have given some thought to this knife debate. My opinion (for what its worth, ya i know not much) is if you first line is for for SHTF, a knife can make sense, there is a lot a knife can do other then just fighting. A lot depends on your mission / set up / preferences, and a lot of good points have been made...but saying a knife on first line is not good practice is just not true.

Remember the Seal's that rescued the Ship Captain from Pirates a few years back.
When they boarded to boat one of the Seals killed one of the pirates with a knife. Who would of thunk that a knife would be carried on a Hostage Rescue Mission and then, used to take out a bad guy with it. With all the latest and greatest high tech weapons available to the Seals, one was taken out with a tool. |

My 2 cents on knives. First, as many have said, it is as personal as everything else, and mission-specific. For me, I can't fight for shit with a knife and the last thing I wanted to do is pretend and then get stabbed repeatedly when I lose. So a knife is strictly utility purpose, and I use a folder with a pocket clip. (Emerson HD-7 if anyone cares to know.)
Second, my war-belt setup is mainly for range days... not when SHTF or the Zombie apocalypse. Look it's going to sound lame, but if I need to bug-out the first thing I do is tuck tail and run... I would look for enough fuel, food, guns, and ammo to get me to a known safety (well hopefully there is one) - even if it mean some forest in Northern Canada. And then I pray someone will maybe nuke the shit out of whatever Zombie lab there is. You aren't gonna see any ninja move out of me, or any "offensive" behavior for that matter... even "defensive" situation is to be kept to minimum. Avoid conflict, and stay alive. Within that context, my gun belt aren't even a first-line... that's my backpack and also why my folder is in my pants. The belt is a 2nd line, I can drop it if necessary, and perhaps the carrier as extra measure. So, as to where to put a knife on a war belt? My answer is nowhere; but your answer could be completely different and it doesn't mean either one of us is wrong. By the way, small notes on putting pouches on the back of your belt: If it's a medical / first-aid pouch, try to have some sort of quick-detach method; even an idiot like me know it's impossible to get to my content easily. I run mine with the MOLLE STIX which let me drop the medical pouch in seconds, unfold it in front of me (or give it to someone who knows what he is doing), and administer whatever necessary. Thereafter I can tuck the whole pouch in my dump pouch, move on, and re-attach at a later time. Not the most practical when fighting a war, but then again I am not fighting a war... I am staying alive. I also think it is better than dropping the whole belt just to get to your pouch. You can't really see the MOLLE STIX but here is my FAK... dead 6 o'clock position. Probably felt weird for many, but I can reach and detach it without looking.  |

And I do have a few knives here and there. But CA sucks, so at most, I'll have a folder and/or multi-tool. I should probably put my flame suit on, huh?

I suppose I could call you a dick and say that folders are for pansies? Nahh, the moments passed.

Most fixed blades need a dedicated sheath; my folders clip to my pocket, making them easier to carry wherever I go (with or without belt), and it's in a more convenient and easier-to-reach location. If you want a fixed blade knife, go for it. Just be realistic about its employment. I have a half a dozen fixed blade knives, but the only ones that are on a belt are the historical models. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I was hoping to get a good multi-page, slug-fest argument going, but you took the wind out o' me sails.
Now, what's the best way to attach a katana to a chest rig? Sorry to disappoint, I know that feel bro.

Does that Gerber poke ya in the ribs at all? Either way, it's a cool knife. |

What kinda of crazy ammo are you using that would get the barrel hot enough to melt a rubber band in one round?

Not so much any picture in general. That guy has the look of a professional in his craft. While I'm not in LE or the Military I can appreciate someone who has hands been there. Maybe I'm taking too much out of a photo. But I'm here to learn from those who do. |
