New topic: DIR vs. DIW

[WIdiver_Paul]

I have a Zeagle EMT shears and z-knife combo that velcros quite nicely to my right shoulder harness above the D-ring. In this position I can reach either tool in any position, including if I was keyholed in an opening, where otherwise with a waist knife, reaching down (especially with my ring glove system) would be difficult or impossible. The velcro strap on the unit is oriented to keep the unit in this position, so putting it on the waist would be impossible without orienting the unit horizontally, which makes it quite awkward to deploy. There is also a plastic D-ring sewn on the back of the holster, which I have bungee-tied to my harness D-ring to keep the unit in place, but still have the option of cutting it free in an emergency. I think the placement falls right in to the DIR way of thinking- i.e. It is streamlined, available with either hand quickly in emergency, and can be jettisoned if need be. What do you think???

Do you think this is the "height of strokery"??
