Longbow50: I've been looking for that knot FOREVER! Thanks!

WOFT: I have two Wave's, one in my assault vest or on my belt...and the one you see inside the Becker. To be honest, I have two Beckers also. The Becker I have pictured up there is the one I take on SAR patrols. As far as it being lopsided...It's tied around my thigh, plus it's balanced by my Glock model 22 .40 caliber on the other hip. Both are secured on my web belt...so they aren't going anywhere unless I'm going with them. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Robert: Jeff Randall is cool and all, but get the Becker instead of the RTAK. The RTAK is too big and unweildy, and the sheath pouch sucks. The Busse Battle Mistress, is, of course, far better than a Becker. But for the $350 price tag, you could buy two Beckers, two GI machetes, and two Estwing Hatchets...and still have $200 dollars to spend on more gear! Trust me, I learned this stuff the hard way. <img src="images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
