I have a Kabar fighting/utility knife. Its great if you spend any time in the woods. They're literly bombproof.

Maybe there will be a TDI in my stocking this X-mas.

So what you are saying is that if you have CCW in MO you can carry this knife? Early in my gun shopping days I ran into this knife and guy behind the counter said he can only sell it to LEOs and Military.

I have a small one similar to Retsup's. I tried the larger one but found the large knife holster extremely poor. It printed more than any firearm I own.

Love the small one--unable to make the large one work with the supplied holster.

Grady...get a metal belt clip for the kydex sheath for your large TDI will make it easy to conceal!!

According to RSMO ch. 571 (the weapons chapter), your CCW exempts you from the law against carrying concealed firearms, knives (which in missouri law is anything larger than a folder with a 4" blade) or Blackjacks (pretty much any impact weapon based on how they define "blackjack").
Here's the link to the chapter:
RSMO-Chapter 571

Read the "definitions section" (the definition of knife is #12)
Then read Section 571.030 (the Unlawful use of a weapon section) and scroll down about 1/2 way to read the exceptions (section #4).

All that said, your city may have ordinances against certain knives, I know some cities/towns in the St.L area do. If that is the case, you're out of luck as the state law only prevents cities from enacting restrictions on CCW of firearms.

As far as the guy saying he couldn't sell to you...he's either lying, or an idiot (or both).

Fixed blades are very nice and are superior to folders. I carry folders a lot more than fixed I would love to get a TDI and incorporate it to my system. About the box of bandaids.... they make a training version of this knife, down fall is that it costs just about as much as the live blade.

Again as I always say train with what you carry... my fingers and hands are worth a lot more than 50 bucks or so.

Do you have a link or a picture of a metal belt clip? I can't picture what you mean.

I would appreciate a better way to carry the large TDI. It's a great weapon to carry if one can do so legally and concealed.

KA-BAR : 1480CLIP That is on the regular TDI but works great on the full size replaces the nylon and velcro stuff.

The belt clip for the small TDI fits the holster for the large TDI?

I'll consider that. Does it keep the knife close to your body?

I currently use the belt holster for the small TDI that is threaded onto the belt. It holds the knife handle very close in to the body. Too bad they don't make such a holster for the large TDI.

Thanks for the link to the picture. It makes more sense now.

I actually put the kydex on the inside of my belt with the clip on the outside of the belt very tight and secure.
