Last night I talked with a good friend who has been a cop for many many years. He is very familiar with the Bianchi line. He said he ALWAYS tells new cops to get the snaps because they are much more durable and quieter.

Thank you all for the information on the Bianchi Accumold? ballistic nylon sheath Does anyone know if there is a size that fits the Mini-RSK Mk1? ....or what the difference is size there is between the different numbers. Perhaps someone could measure their number 2 at least?

Here is another site that sells the sheaths for $13.60, did not check shipping. I imagine the "S" after the number denotes the snap model.

I know there are disadvantages to velcro, but since one can hear it, if something pulls the flap open, I might hear it and placement for closing is not as critical.

Stropped my Mini-RSK Mk1 S30V on charged leather, it got very sharp! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

ARGH...
I did not even know about these. and now it is two late to reserver the same serial numbers as my other ones... argh...

I just got my Charge Ti, and I'm not sure I'm happy with the sheath. So, being the Spec Ops Brand junkie that I am (thanks ironraven!) I looked at some of their sheaths. I may be replacing the Leatherman sheath with the Spec Ops Brand Super Sheath. It has a snap closure, is in the same price range (retail is $14.95 I think) and it can be carried horizontally or vertically.

Point being, when my M2 arrives (will be my first RSK) I may be ordering a second Super Sheath (assuming I like it for the Leatherman). I can't speak as to how the knife will fit, but I've made several Spec Ops purchases lately and been completely satisfied with each one. As a matter of fact, the quality of the products has ruined me for so many other things. My expectations are a lot higher now. My wife and I were browsing strollers tonight and I found myself wishing SOB made strollers, and diaper bags...

Maybe I need to get out more <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This may be a little off topic but I have a Benchmade AFCK and I love it! I have never carried a RSK Mk1 but I am interested to know how the two compare. They are both Benchmade so i'd assume both are good.

Thanks!

Just wondering how many of you carry the full sized RSK or full sized Griptillian as EDC? I have a set of the new M2's on order and a regular 440c Griptillian that I EDC. I love how light it is for such a large strong knife. I checked the "state knife laws" website and it could be construed as illegal to carry (blade length) in most states........ even Texas. I'm not expecially worried about that but I am reluctant to carry it in open view.

Also, how many are buying the RSK M2 knives for collectors items and how many plan to use them?

My normal EDC is a small Sebenza, which doesn't seem to alarm most people. This is more or less the same size as the Mini-RSK, although the Mini-RSK is a bit more bulky.

I happen to be really taken with the Axis lock, and I've added a full size RSK to my EDC, *but* I carry it *in* my pocket, unlike the Sebenza which I carry clipped *to* my pocket.

I think that a much larger number of people would be alarmed with the full sized RSK and as such don't carry it in the open, or use it with normally, despite the 3.5" blade is legal carry in my state.

One of the reasons I've taken to EDC this knife is how ambi-friendly and one-handed friendly it is. While I love my Sebenza and can easily open and close it one handed with my "strong" hand, it is very difficult to use with my other hand due to it's design.

As for the M2, I haven't really made up my mind. I ordered one of each size without really having a plan in mind. But I did get them to be users - I'm not really the collector kinda guy.

The blade on my AFCK is 3.90 inches long. I don't worry about carring it unless i go into a school or a government building but i don't go into these usually.

I recently bought Doug's mini-RSK for EDC, in replacement of the full-size RSK I EDCed before.
The full size RSK got me some comments when I used it during everyday activities.

Up to now, I haven't get these reactions while using the mini-RSK.

Full size RSK usage will be restricted to outdoor's activities.

Thanks for everyones feedback. I agree with the looks one gets using the full sized RSK in public. It's a shame because it's my favorite. When my new RSK M2 and Mini RSK M2 arrive I suspect the Mini will be clipped in my pocket and the full sized will ride in my EDI Bag.
