\"Raven<\/a>Raven Concealment Systems<\/a> has come out with a product that made me think, “Duh!”\u00a0 Raven’s ModuLoader Pocket Shield<\/a> is perfect for the discreet carry of knives and other like equipment.\u00a0 There are times that I would prefer to hide my blade, especially when in dress or business casual clothes.\u00a0 A metal knife clip dragging on the pocket edge of an expensive pair of slacks will not do.<\/p>\n

I ordered a Pocket Shield primarily for knife carry.\u00a0 It arrived packaged with a nifty Raven sticker, a short length of small nylon cord, and six Chicago screws for affixing accessories.\u00a0 I ordered a gray Pocket Shield instead of black, well, just because I could.<\/p>\n

The Pocket Shield’s scalloped top edge and horizontal slots provide mounting points for clipped gear and, as a bonus, give ventilation to the area.\u00a0 If you’ve ever pocket-carried a large, bulky holster in the heat of summer, you know that it can be uncomfortable.\u00a0 The ModuLoader piece is flexible, light, and cool.<\/p>\n

Photos on their website show small fixed blade knives, flashlights, and pistols bolted to the Pocket Shield for pocket carry.\u00a0 Its flexible shape masks bulky objects.\u00a0 Raven credits MDTS Training Systems’ Chris Fry with conceiving the ModuLoader Pocket Shield and working with Raven to co-develop it.<\/p>\n

\"Raven<\/a> \"Raven<\/a> \"Raven<\/a>I have worn the Pocket Shield in office clothes and casual clothes.\u00a0 It measures 6″ wide by 4 1\/2″ tall and seems to work best in pants with deep pockets.\u00a0 The Pocket Shield comes flat, but can be formed into a curve to match your thigh.\u00a0 This makes it hide things even better.\u00a0 The Pocket Shield has a slow memory that will return it mostly flat, but my experience is that the requisite bend will last for hours.<\/p>\n

Several of my EDC folders have ridden on the Pocket Shield.\u00a0 Even the larger ones, like an Emerson CQC-10, concealed well.\u00a0 I bolted my ESEE Izula on the Pocket Shield and toted it around for a day.\u00a0 On the PS, it stayed stable and unobtrusive.\u00a0 Because you can thumb the sheath off the blade, it works with the Pocket Shield.<\/p>\n

\"Raven<\/a> \"Raven<\/a>The plastic of the Pocket Shield is slick enough that clipped items slide out without effort, but, thanks to the scallops and slots, stay where you put them.\u00a0 When withdrawing equipment, I found the best technique is to grasp the item, pull, and catch the pointy tip of the PS against the trailing lip of the pocket.\u00a0 The item (knife) comes out, but the Pocket Shield stays behind.<\/p>\n

\"Raven<\/a> \"Raven<\/a> \"Raven<\/a>Raven’s Pocket Shield is Made in the USA.\u00a0 It retails on their website for $24.99.\u00a0 At that price, you are paying as much for the product as for Mr. Fry and Raven Concealment System’s really nifty design.\u00a0 Still, I wish I had thought of it.<\/p>\n
