Superman32 0 #1 November 25, 2005 I know the icon keeps one under the 3-ring cover and I've seen them hanging from the chest strap. For those with Vector3 rigs, where do you keep your hook knives? Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #2 November 25, 2005 My Vector 3 has it in the left legstrap. If I was to get another one, I'd probably put it in the right 3 ring cover - that way I'd have low and high, left and right.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

divernb 0 #4 November 25, 2005 I had a rigger put a snap on my left mud flap and hook knife for $10.00 (same place as the Icon) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdog 0 #6 November 26, 2005 Left legstrap on the back side... When I asked the same question, everyone said leg strap and I could not find it until I thought out of the box and found the built in pocket... ;-) There have been a few threads about the science and wisdom of which way the knife should face depending on which location you put it... For an example, cutting your chest strap off while removing your mud flap mounted knife would not be, as Martha Stewart might say, "is NOT a good thing."

mjosparky 3 #7 November 26, 2005 I carry a hook knife like the one in the attached pictures. I have a pocket sewn on each of my jumpsuits on the front just below the chest strap. I can see the knife and reach it with either hand. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bliston 0 #8 November 27, 2005 A wise man once told me to wear four. b/c: 1. You won't be able to reach the first one... 2. You'll be so ampted, you'll drop the second one... 3. You'll need the third to save your life... "why the fourth?" I asked... "dude, you gotta have a backup" was his reply To answer the original question, back of the legstrap is standard location for RWS, but if you get the one piece leg pad design (w/ or w/o hip rings) you can have the knife placed on the front rather than the back. Which might make sense for visability and I've found it less likely to get knocked loose from moving around the plane. BenMass Defiance 4-wayFS website sticks!
