Yes it's small, no the steel isn't the best but for what I'm assuming youre wanting to use it for, it'll do the job so you can get to your gun.

It is optimized for centerline horizontal carry. Typically, it is set up for off-side draw. For a righty, that means it is just to the left of a beltbuckle, handle to the left. With a 1.5-1.75" belt, it will hang somewhat at an angle, pointing at the inguinal crease.

Left hand draw brings the blade out facing forward, edge up. Right hand draw presents RGEI.

The sheath is compatible with a small Tek-lok, probably the best way to mount for a vertical draw.

It is probably a good bit smaller than you think.

IWB is certainly possible, either with an RCS clip or loop strut, and a bit of modification, but it is challenging to see how this would be better carry, as it conceals completely with a standard fit t-shirt, untucked, horizontal or vertical.

Depends on your budget, and slap-n-tickle style, but for being readily indexed from the draw, easily concealed, legal length anywhere you can carry a fixed blade, and easily modified if you want to texture the grip, it's a best buy.

I am going to have to try one of those Watson PDs...
