I guess it would depend on how he carried it. If it’s vertical on his belt, either would work(take up similar space) horizontal, the crusher would take up a lot of space. Less room for other stuff he might need. Good luck, hope this helped.

I am fortunate to have two Winklers so far - a (Field Knife 5.75" blade) and a Drop Point Crusher. Let me tell you, these knives are worth EVERY dollar I paid for them! The workmanship, design, blade geometry, materials and the sheaths are about as close to PERFECTION as anything made by human hands can get. I will be adding a third Winkler soon, and I have a full sixe RnD 'hawk with the front spike on order. It should drop in March/April of 2024. I have collected knives for a long time - 30 years(?) and I am totally smitten with Winkler knives!
