I honestly can't find a nice chopper at a better deal. Once I get the cash I'm going to pull the trigger. I will probably get a kydex sheath for it though. I've found the people here find many ways to carry thier knives. I'd like to know how you carry your bk9. This is a pretty big knife. I find even small knives to be uncomfortable to carry on the belt. How do you guys carry this beast?
