I know that I've been clubbing this horse for a bit now, but I just can't get over how well this knife was designed and manufactured. I have the joy of XL-length fingers and a L-width palm and this knife still fits my hands perfectly. Sharpness out of the box, top-notch steel construction, fantastic grip design and overall blade balance, good stock sheath...I just don't see how it's possible to do better than this at the same price point.

How are you concealing that bad boy? or are you just walking around with it on your hip?

Isn't that an illegal carry knife in WA?

T-shirt down over the sheath is all I use for concealment unless I'm wearing an open-front button-up shirt like I was yesterday. I always tuck in my t-shirts when I have an over-shirt on so I only have one layer to worry about if I have to draw the knife.

WA has no state-wide blade length restrictions but Seattle has a municipal one for fixed-blade knives with a blade of over 3-1/2". The Street beat is exactly 3-1/2" so it's legal to carry there (another reeason that I really like this knife).
