if I may make a suggestion, the tactical knife you have strapped to your shoulder harness is extremely close to your face, especially with the cutting / sharp edge facing your face. in an emergency, hand to hand confrontation or during a stressful situation, you reach for knife, the chances of you cutting your face open are extremely high. also assuming you are right handed, you should with the knife to your left/ weak side. your strong hand is to retain your weapon, weak hand is to reach for the knife and get someone off you.
