When I carry mine (not all that often as I usually carry a push-dagger as my "weak hand" knife), I carry it set up for reverse-grip. This is just my personal preference based on the method I typically use for knife work.

Look online, you should be able to find a small one for around $25-30. The low price, and the fact that they make a trainer for about the same price is one of my favorite things about this knife.

It is also handy from the pocket, carrying well there due to its shape, though it will require custom kydex.

I have one set up on my flak jacket as a last ditch back-up. It's a fine knife, need to take the class sometime, but I'm stuck in Hawaii for now.

It's currently set up for a reverse grip since in that close I'd just be pounding away with a fist anyways, so I'd use it to "bulldog" my opponent.

I prefer the larger version, but then again, I don't carry it for defense in a civilian purpose, and I'm not really worried about concealment.

I would love to have one if it wasn't illegal in Kansas. No fixed blade carry.

I carry mine everyday when I am on shift. I love it.

Mil--I have the small full serated (sp) version. Fits with my other gear better. And if I have to use it to cut seatbelts at work I can; I am a paramedic. I still carry my very non-tactical-but-extremely-sharp folder and my leatherman wave, though.
