bikermutt07 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Looks great. Is it traditional to carry such a knife edge upwards? Quote
Members Harry Marinakis Posted July 10, 2016 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Yes, that is the traditional method of carry - horizontal, in front, edge up, handle on the dominant side Edited July 10, 2016 by Harry Marinakis Quote

Learn something new everyday. What was the purpose of carrying it across the front? Seems like it would get in the way of running and such. Quote
Members Harry Marinakis Posted July 10, 2016 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2016 Dunno why they carried it in front, that's just what they did. I assume it's something to do with the male anatomy. Quote
Members billybopp Posted July 11, 2016 Members Report Posted July 11, 2016 It might have been easier getting in and out of a boat, sitting and rowing that way. Quote
