If your clothes are not skin tight would you be able to conceal this knife by strapping it to your leg (either by changing sheath/making new one)?

Yes, but doing so limits quick accessibility and increases the potential of self inflicted harm.

You should be able to conceal it to your leg. You'll jut need a leg strap then. This is a great knife. I've actually been able to conceal it while wearing skinny jeans. Just make sure you have decent sized pockets. Hope that helped!

You can use the same sheath and make new paracord straps for your calf and ankle Bill

I conceal this knife easily in my boot, or pocket without having to do anything.

Personally I think that it might be too long to be a skinning knife, but as long as you are careful not to poke through the skin too far, I don't see why not.

When I purchased this knife it camp with a black hard plastic sheath that was slotted around the entire length of both sides of the blade. I strung para chord through it but thinking about it yes...if you have a molle accessory strap you could make it work. I also have a leather sheath for this knife that would not be compatible with a molle system.

yes, but it's not a great sheath. ballistic nylon with a thin Velcro loop to hold the knife in. The knife is beautiful, but they skimped on the sheath. BTW, check Kennesaw cutlery. They are running a special on this knife along with two other knives as a set.

Perhaps , to be on the safer side go with the larger sheath . Better have more room, the extra space can used to pack in other stuff.

Absolutely! Great sheath and even better knife... I carry it on my old GI belt and it has no fitment issues

No, However i could see it being an excellent knife for that application. The knife itself has very good retention inside the sheath.

http://www.a2armory.com/leg-sheath.htmlIt's not cheap. I suggest attempting to use leather to make your own. Unless, of course, if you want to show off authenticity. Then its worth every penny.

Sure. The sheath has two holes to thread a belt through. The holes at the bottom can be used to run paracord through for keeping close to the body. That keeps it from flopping around.

My knife came with a kryton hard plastic type sheath, similar to kydex. There could be some minimal flopping I guess, I haven't had any issue with it, but you could also lash it to your leg or back pack with paracord to keep that from occurring.

Yes, I carried this knife in the stock sheath on my chest rig for about 7 months of hard use, never a problem. As long as the sheath is mounted to something it is secure, if it is thrown in a bag with heavy objects the sheath could possibly bend, releasing the knife.

It would do the job, but is not my preferred blade shape for a skinning knife. I would recommend something more like Winchester 22-41340 Small Wood Handle Fixed Blade with Nylon Sheath or the Timber Wolf Blazin Bowie Knife both of which have blunter point that would help to avoid poking more holes than necessary in the hide. Heck, most of the skinning I've done in my life of deer sized game and smaller has been done with a folding stockman or muskrat pattern pocket knife.

I've never had an issue with this knife and the sheath while wearing light clothes; however the clothes should be semi-tight on you or supported (i.e. tie the string on your shorts). There have been some answers suggesting a light belt but I have found the string on my running shorts is good enough if you have a strong pull. You won't give yourself a "wedgie" though the shorts do rise a little bit before the sheath gives. This is a really good overall knife in my humble opinion and I enjoy carrying it regardless of what I am wearing or where I am going since it is very versatile. The knife was my first purchase from Cold Steel but it will be far from my last purchase.

Yes, there is a snap strap to secure it in the sheath. However, if that unsnaps the knife will fall out.

That will depend on how you intend to use it. THe sheath would seem a little bulky for around your neck.

It locks in pretty solid. I don't know that there is anything that is going to keep a knife in a sheath if your are tangled in debris. You should already have it out at that point. Down side: Knife is titanium and it cannot be sharpened.

The carrying sheath is cheap and unreliable. Use something else and could but you would have to fashion it yourself. The hand guard is kinda large and has notches which may catch on other items you would be wearing.
