MercHarness PR

commands your respect instantly. As a certified weapons instructor at the state and federal

level, he is a fan of inverted fixed-blade carry in Kydex® or Zytel® detented sheaths for

emergency self-defense. But most harnesses are complex, bulky and uncomfortable. Neck

chains require a tie-down to position the knife. So George developed his MercHarness, a

revolutionary way to carry fixed blades of any size, from the Columbia River Knife & Tool®

(CRKT®) Dogfish™ neck knife to the tactical CRKT Hissatsu™.

The harness is a length of mil-spec paracord, gutted so it is flat. Soft rubber keepers allow

adjustment of the harness even when wearing it. Users just tie the cord through the eyelets of

their fixed blade sheath and slip the MercHarness over their shoulders.

George’s key words are comfort and concealability. Comfort means you can carry even

larger fixed blades. For example, the CRKT Hissatsu has a length of 12.25” and weight of 7.9

ounces and can still be carried unobtrusively under the arm. The MercHarness can be worn

under uniforms, tactical vests or casually under a T-shirt. It’s durable, inexpensive, lightweight

and moves with the body.

The MercHarness does not need tie-downs. You can position the knife under the arm or

slightly forward and it stays oriented. Drawing from the MercHarness is lightning quick with

either a cross draw to the forward grip, or a same-side draw to a reverse grip. So sometimes,

simple really is better, especially with an MSRP of only $9.99.

Note: The MercHarness is intended for use specifically with molded and fitted fixed

blade sheaths made of Kydex®, Concealex®, or Zytel®, which have a detent system

designed to grip the knife during inverted carry.
