I cut off the dangly bits of the sheath and added a stud to it... carries inside the belt nicely now!

Won't that stud be hard on belts and pants?

Rob, is that HP bevel on the slide the result of removing forward cocking serrations?

I despise FCS, and that looks like a good way to get rid of them.

And a Les Bear Lwt Frame, by a local smith... He passed away, I picked it up from his estate. it is a wonderful little 45. Most of you here all understand the quality of a bill Snow blade!

before the 1860 until the 1917 Half flap that I was issued in the early 1980s.
You can easily acquire them via Tandy Leather, and add them as one would add a rivet.
Really the big brass hard to find mushroom shaped head is a bit better, but not much...

Rimshot!

If that is from the same piece of Wootz that mine is, BJ can put an edge on that past wicked sharp.

Thank you, funny man...

And keep all his fingers.

hate fcs that is how feelings get hurt.

For a knife blade carried like that?

but I am 6 foot tall.... Mr. Bagwell takes many measurements when he builds a custom blade and takes one's stature and build into account.
If I were doing this again,from scratch, I would have to try out several different lengths to see what worked best for me.
Lynn Thompson is shorter than me but totes a Laredo Bowie, easily.
I mostly carry my Laredo Bowie, I will be toting BJ Snow's blade more now that I have fixed the sheath.

I have an early '90's vintage M1991A1 Combat Commander with the old crappy finish and the billboard slide. It ain't much to look at, but it is a honey of a shooter and a great carry gun. The many of the folks on the Colt forum seem to think those early Series 80 guns, despite their looks, were some of the best made and most reliable guns Colt has made in recent years.

I am mostly concerned about sitting down with the blade - I am pretty much desk bound. Firearms are prohibited at work but not knives and they max 4" blade length was removed last year.

Blade would be seen as me looking for a fight.

their effectiveness...Carry a 5 or 5" Smaller blade I'll bet BJ Snow has one ready to go. the Randal style blade fits that description, but the sheaths are NOT what you want for concealment.
this Peacekeeper II is a easy to conceal knife with excellent steel and a very practical IWB sheath. the clip is a little small at 1.5" n=but it clips to the top of a boot or the pants just fine.Very affordable, many folks I know that work in "a Non-permissive " environment, carry these.
