One thing about the army jungle boots is they lace up tight so a small knife stays in place untill you need it.

I would bring the Kabar to a local knife- or toolmaker and have him reset bevel and edge with a grinder, then learn to keep it sharp with a stone.

PA knife laws are a bit tricky. Switchblades / automatically opening knives are absolutely prohibited, but then it looks as though on a case by case basis, the law determines whether what you're carrying has a "common lawful purpose". If they decide that it does, e.g you're carrying a 8" hunting knife while checking your traps, you're cool. If they decide there's no "common lawful purpose", e.g. you're carrying a 30" ninja sword through your neighborhood at night, then you may be charged with carrying a "prohibited offensive weapon" under the law.

That's just state law. There may be other county/municipal regulations that you need to be aware of. Best to check with your local PD or Sheriff's office to make sure!

:rant::soapbox::cen Poor SOG. Look into Spyderco.

Forgot to add that Crossbreed's IWB holsters are fantastic

You can also do this with a Hone with a lower grit, it takes time but can be done.

The s&w's are proving to be reliable right out of the box, it's great. Mine has been refinished by the previous owner (sucks) but it's still a great 1911.

I either carry an .45 Ed Brown Executive Elite or a .45 Kimber TLE II. Im the one pulling up my pants periodically in the stores :)

I hear that although now my 1911 has a scandium aluminum frame so it's not as bad as past EDC's. Any chance we can get some pics of your beautiful Brown?

Here you go
