What options are out there for an IWB tuckable fixed blade?

[teddy12b]

I've never had a fixed blade EDC. If I were to go this route, it'd have to be tuckable. With that in mind is there more to it than finding the right sheath with belt loops that allow tucking like it's pistol counterpart? I've got an esee izula 2 that I'm thinking about using for this.

If you EDC a fixed blade in a tuckable setup, I'd like to know what you setup and why.

I don't have anything to contribute, but I'm just envious of you guys that have room inside your WB for anything but your waist.

I carry a 5&1/4" Winkler Spike with sculpted handles but had to switch to OWB as I am currently experiencing a case of grandpa gut as I am on sick leave laying around trying to heal. I have a Winkler Operator with shorter blade that I could carry IWB but it would be a major pain to take off of my vest.

The main thing is finding a spot so you can develope a good grip for the draw without cutting yourself. It happens.

Oh trust, I haven't had a 6 pack since 2003.

Cutting myself on the draw is something I've been concerned with.

I think that's part of my problem. I've had too many six packs!

Like a friend of mine says, why go for a six pack when you can have a whole keg?

Are you wanting a strict self defense tool or utilitarian like the knife you have now? There are ways of converting ESEE by purchasing loops and Chicago screws / nuts.

I'm not thinking strictly a self defense tool, but something that can be used in that capacity for sure. I'm not thinking about a strictly utilitarian blade either. I was throwing out an izulla II as something I would strongly consider as fitting into both the categories but not really perfect at either.

That's why you buy pants that are 2" larger so you can fit more inside

Just wondering but have you thought about horizontal carry? Might be more comfortable than vertical iwb?

 

[bwframe]

Tried a few methods, including the horizontal that this knife/sheath came with from the factory. None worked for me.

Ended up going with it as neck knife. EDC for 3-4 years now...

I EDC a big honking blade and it must be owb. That's not a standard sized envelope as ot is 6"× 10".

I'm open to any idea that's 100% concealed and tuckable.

While I love fixed blades, I dont normally do IWB. I normally carry a full size in horizontal small of back. However I often carry a smaller knife (or two) as well.
Only my CRKT Obake is set to do tuckable although it doesn't have straps, just a static line. I normally pocket carry it on the line but have done tucked IWB with it in the past. Coworkers sometimes give me **** about carrying a steak knife when I use it lol.
With enough line (factory length is good) it clears the belt line (and you) before it begins to pull clear of the sheath.

Here is my Burnley that has my spec'd longer length blade. My favorite color is orange.

As you can see, it is IWB with a rip action leaving the sheath behind like a dangler. I have a Pohan Leu around here somewhere that is massive but it is IWB rip action. I'll try to find it.

That is sweet. How long is the blade on that? The design looks better with more blade. Mine isnt the Tini, but the black/red with satin blade.
