I walked into the company CP. Sergeant Apala looked at me.
"Shirley, why do you have that deerslayer on your leg?"
"That's the knife a friend made for me."
"That's too conspicuous when you're not in battle rattle."
"Uh, okay, roger, sergeant."
Fortunately, I had a box from HI waiting. The R7 is a copy of the Shrade Sharpfinger, and a very useful and size-efficient knife it is...definitely not too conspicuous, even without armor!
The R7 is an attractive little knife, and the handle is shaped well enough that slippage should never be a factor. I do notice that the handle is gilded. We'll see how well that holds up.
A variety of holds can be utilized well, and the versatile shape maximizes blade length.
R7 in sheath.
On my side.
With the bottom of the sheath tucked into my pocket.
Saber.
