The horizontal carry style has been associated with a number of different things, but it's just sitting down at dinner time that I've found most useful. It makes taking out my knife easier than having to fish around in tight spots for what you need and also gives more balance while seated so there are no accidents from spilling food.
We’ve all had the experience of walking around with a knife handle jabbing us in our ribs. I know that sounds painful, but many people have reported getting stuck while camping or after tying their shoes on their way home from work or school.
So if you're looking for comfort when carrying your blade then take note because these knives will give increased leverage without sacrificing any sharpness whatsoever and provide the comfort you are looking for in a carry knife.
Take a look at the amazing collection we have picked out and find the right belt knife for you today!
