Thanks for the post, I for one look forward to any updates and future topics.
Maybe a short video of you drawing it or the baseball bat. I am having difficulty picturing it with any useful speed.
You don't want to see that... it is like a woman that is trying to get into jeans that are 6 sizes too small... Rolling around on the ground, struggling, it is just a rough sight...
The good news is that, upon seeing this, most have just busted out laughing and didn't make an attempt to steal his Yu-Gi-Oh chain wallet.

. I have it in a pocket right now.
On topic, I agree, no one said you can't carry a fixed blade in your front pocket. I often do carry a fixed blade in my RFP.
The only difference is that I carry a Custom B&T or a Small Custom Suwanee River...
I carry a Small Fixed Blade in my pocket.
Why do you want to carry such a large fixed blade in your pocket?
Concealment? It hangs out of your pocket, or it is too buried to be of use immediately. Belt carry would allow for 1/2 -3/4 (if not more) of the knife and sheath to be covered.
Fully concealed? Do you have a Concealed Weapon license? In most locations (that I know of), one is needed to fully conceal a knife or firearm.
Ease of accessing it? It is buried inside your pocket, belt carry is easier.
Security of not dropping or having it taken?
That shouldn't be an issue for someome so well versed in a martial art.
How can you deliver a solid kick above your opponents knee with a knife in your pocket that has an OAL of near 10"-12"?
Why did you choose that knife when there are others that are better for self defense?
- A karambit or hawksbill shape will often yield a gaping flesh wound which will scare most off but not be as lethal, while being lighter and quicker. This will aid in your defense in a court room., which is where you will end up. A knife in an encounter will likely need t be explained in front of a judge.
- A dagger or Wharncliffe will offer a more aggressive cutting edge in soft tissue and clothing due to the tip and edge being straight along the slicing path. As well as adding to the puncture if needed... This being the more lethal blade shapes will be harder to defend in a court.
But I am sure, as a trained marital artist, You knew this.
Wait, you
Are trained by someone, right? You never said that. You just said you like to practice...
