Fat knives. Will this handle knives with a larger profile like the Spyderco Harpy or the Kershaw Blur?

Yes, the straps are elastic so wider knives can be squeezed in. The Kershaw Blur fits fine.

I have fat fingers and my pinky does fit in it. But it feels better gripping above it. It is worth the buy you will see it fits your hand better than a lot of knives

It's the width and weight of the knife that is different from other models normally carried. With the knife on its side in your pocket, it's a couple of inches "high", so you don't want to have a lot of other "stuff" in there with it, such as a cell phone. I daily carry the smaller version of this knife in regular cotton pants or jeans + my wallet in left front pocket with no problems. This model is just a little heavy for me to daily carry in a pocket, that's why I got the belt holster for it. I carry this knife on special occasions when I think I might need the extra tools this knife has. It CAN be carried in a normal size pocket, but I wouldn't count on carrying a lot more in the same pocket. If you're concerned about "lumps" or wear super tight fitting pants, you will have a big lump with this knife. I gladly put up with the lump and weight in my pocket, though, for the tools and utility this knife provides.

Both of my knives are Kershaw Ken Onions. The serratated Ken Onion I own looks very similar to the Tanto. I would expect the Tanto to be a very good knife! Tom Brennan

If you are using a Ferro rod or " metal match " yes it will, but you may need to grind or file the back of the knife flatter than it comes. The spine " back " of mine was slightly rounded when I got it, but a little touch up and it worked great.

It would be too fat in my opinion. There are the 2 outside layers with the blade I also suspect the Boker would be too fat also. This one has the VG-10 blade vs the Boker with the 440C blade.

We use ours for a 8.5 inch long and 1.75 inch wide at the widest part of the blade. It's a Winchester bowie knife.

It should work fine for you as the blade is wide I even tried holding the knife as you describe and it seemed fine on my hand and finger.

If it has a 7" blade it might. I use mine with a Kabar small heavy bowie which has a 7 1/2" blade that is 1 11/16" wide with a 1/4" backbone....a pretty hefty knife. Since mine came folded in half as well as the knife being so large I had to modify the plastic insert and now my knife fits quite nicely.

The blade is slightly longer (than the BK) but the handle is a bit crowded, for larger hands. ... The flare, at the rear, tends to make my meaty mits feel a bit "bunched". ... Just fine if your hands are thinner (more narrow). ... There ARE better options and I think that the BK16 is one of them. ... If you can afford it, nothing beats the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft Knife. ... The Mora Bushcraft Black (with or without the enhanced sheath) is a great option. ... The Condor Bushlore and the Condor Basic-5 Inch are both very adequate. ... I carry the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft and the Mora Black as a reserve knife but, to be totally honest, I use my Spyderco Endura4 FFG or my Mora 840MG Companion for any tasks which they can handle. This saves my better blades for the things that ONLY they can handle.

Yes, there is space it's not really a bad knife but the issue I have with it is the lawks system, if it did away with this it would be an exceptional knife. But the lawks system completely locked the knife rendering it a fixed blade. I would seriously consider another crkt product or something else.... Kershaw is not to bad for the price range of these knives.... I guess I was to hard on the m16 but my benchmade, Spyderco, microtech, Kershaw, and other have held up to such abuse.... All in what you want and what you are using it for!

Both. There are slots that accommodate longer knives. You will be satisfied.

I do not own a BK7, so I don't know the profile of the blade. I measured the sheath and a blade 1 7/16" wide should fit. When I looked at a picture of the BK7, I noticed a bump on top of the blade. Make sure to measure the blade width at this place.

knife is very thick handled. Blade is much shorter compared to handle. the CRKT Drifter is a better knife. you do lose the fast opening but it does open fine with the thumb.

Hello,I do prefer a slimmer knife or smaller knife for dress pants. My favorite edc for dress pants is the sw2001 or sw3001. I also like the Kershaw Leek. It is very slim and lightweight. I have one Leek in black that I can add to reflect in my inventory.

Depends on if you prefer the thumb stud to the thumb hole for opening. Both knives are high quality with good construction. I own the black handle Rat 1 with the satin stainless blade and love it.

I like mine. I don't love it, it can be difficult to use at times with different size knives. It gets the job done though, mainly about preference or whichever you would be most comfortable with.
