I have a SOG Seal Pup on my kit in the same position for the same reason. (gets more utility use than anything) I have also carried a Rat RC-5 strapped to my left thigh on some training missions and decided it was just to dang heavy to ruck run with etc. There was a time I also carry an Ontario Rat-3. Currently I am waiting on a custom knife from a local maker ,but I've seen a few seal pups and kabars around my NG unit. While at some training with active duty soldiers though the fixed blade of choice (for the few who had them) was the gerber LMF, often tip up on the weak side of their kit.
Glad to hear the project is going well! The LHR looks eerily similar to the "Green Beret" knife.... Thanks for all your great blades!
