On P-38s I usually wore mine around my neck hung on a piece of light line out in the field. A habit from C-ration days. The blade on these don't often fall open but just to make sure I take a half-hitch over the main body and flip-up blade. Seemed reasonable because if it was to open it might take a considerable chunk of skin out of my sternum. With a half-hitch over it I never had one open until I opened it.

I'm less familiar with John Wayne's bigger brother but it is something to keep in mind.

Just a thought.

I'm looking forward to reading your evaluations of the new gear.
