Wow I honestly was not expecting this many replies! I'll try to sum up my responses in this one post.
Well thank you to everyone who has been replying. I greatly appreciate it. I love hearing all these suggestions, most of which never crossed my mind until now. So thank you all again.

Yes I have seen these and considered them, however I've always found them to be a bit bulky and have never found myself in a situation where I need to open it that quick. Plus, and correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't the rivet dull the knife over time? Also, I'm a bit wary to try this option as, like stated by others, it does seem a little iffy as far as knife laws go. However I do appreciate the suggestion and you taking the time to reply. I like the neck carry option though, and in certain situations it seems it could be quite useful.
I very much agree with the above. However, there are times I want to carry my knife but don't really want people to see that I'm carrying a knife (back to the whole image thing I suppose). I have tried the nylon sheath and it's great but I prefer pocket carry. Also why do all the buck sheaths have the bare metal from the snap completely exposed so it hits the knife?? Never understood this and since I made my own scales and personalized my knife I always have to mod the sheaths to prevent scratching. Anyway, yes I also really like the pocket clip idea, and will likely get one in the next few days to try it out.
Ah yes. My knife is actually a bit thinner already from putting new scales on and sanding so many times! And the pocket clip shown in those pics is the exact one I have been using on mine. My only gripe with them is that they look a bit out of place on the old-school brass and wood knife, and it has started to scratch the scale beneath it. Awesome looking knives by the way
First off, that ramshorn knife is stunning. Love the acid-washed look of the blade in particular. The clip you have on it is exactly the same clip and position I have on mine. I have been seriously thinking about the pocket slip as well. Why is the clip your favorite of the two?
Haha this is true! I never thought about that before
This is the obvious solution. However I'm afraid the knife I've chosen is non-negotiable! See I don't carry by 110 because it's practical. I carry it because it's the only knife that means something to me, and because I've carried it everywhere except school with me for the last five years (not to mention that 13-18 are some pretty significant years), and that every significant event, good and bad that has happened in my life in that time, that knife was in my pocket. It's just nice to have a physical item that can go through time with you like that. I'm sure all of you know what I mean. Not to mention I've re-scaled it and modified it so many times there is no other like it on the planet. I'll do a whole post sometime. But, bottom line, I'm simply trying to find the most practical way to continue to carry it as the last thing I want is for it to end up in a drawer.
See above response for my spiel on why it's important that I carry a 110. And I can confirm I am absolutely not using it for self-defense, nor would I EVER pull it on someone unless I absolutely had to as a last resort. Also I understand that certain people, though they SHOULD be encouraged that people my age still carry classic knives, sometimes form negative opinions based on the fact that I'm young and have a tool some people use as a weapon. This is why I'm trying to stay away from belt sheaths, because as unfortunate as it is, people will judge, and having a knife can sometimes tarnish your image. However, around the right people, I will proudly wear the belt sheath. I prefer the tan one, though I put my own liner in it and change the belt loop (seriously, who is in charge of Buck sheath belt loops??).
Yes I have done this before and it works great!
Hey you found the photos! Yes this looks like a great idea. I may also try this, however I have yet to get around to it as it seems a bit painstaking, and I don't really want to do it every time I get new pants, lol. I would also be WAY too nervous about that knife falling out of the pocket when it rides that high up. (Trust me, I KNOW. I lost my first 110 this way for almost 8 months from trying to carry it in the little pocket in the right side front pocket of my jeans. It seemed deep enough! Wasn't! Luckily I found it and a piece of the brass liner is now resting comfortable inside the left scale of my current knife (so I can say it's the "same" knife, hahaha.)
Well thank you to everyone who has been replying. I greatly appreciate it. I love hearing all these suggestions, most of which never crossed my mind until now. So thank you all again.
