Carrying a wave IWB

#1

Post by saywhat? »

I have always preferred to carry a knife IWB as opposed to clipping to a pocket. For me it is more comfortable, conceals better and leaves my pockets free. I am currently carrying an Endura 4 tip down IWB and absolutely love the knife. However, it was a little slow deploying in a pinch the other day. Now the waved Endura has my attention.

Just curious if the wave works as intended when carrying IWB. Thanks in advance.

Affirmative. When I wear pocketless sweats, I carry a waved Spydie IWB. In fact, the elastic waistband makes the waved blade lock open with an authoritive SNAP!

:spyder: remember the wave won't work very well (if at all) unless carried tip up. :spyder:

I usually carry my d4w IWB in basketball shorts when I'm around my home. Its comfy and its easy to open. I do notice however, that it doesn't always open properly. As others have mentioned, it does SNAP, but it doesn't always lock for me. Now, if I carry my d4w in jeans or whatever else (IWB or in pocket), it does not SNAP, but it sure does lock open. For my case, I don't think my d4w likes elastic all that much. :confused:

Remind me not to foul you during a game. Seriously, though, have you had any rust issues from all the sweat?

no but thats probably because im anal about cleaning the blade due to the fact that i use it to eat and prepare food but some times it will fall out and thats perty embarasing picking it up off the court.
