i dunno how you carry belt knives but i dont own big heavy duty belts or heavy duty pants with big belt loops. my biggest knife is a CGFBM with leather pants its quite heavy. ive found that wearing a dedicated knife belt works for me, like a heavy duty canvas belt. you can wear it higher on the hips which helps distribute the weight, and you can take it off without having to undo youre belt.

id say my cgfbm is as heavy as id go for weight for a knife.


so really its not all that heavy...if i had to pack it id just pack it with the other heavy items in my pack.
