I love my Gunting, the fit and finish is superb, absolutely no complaint there! The design and ergonomics of the handle, blade and ramp are everything they are purported to be. And its so well balanced that manipulating the drone is so easy, and very, very fun! Heck, even some of my less sheeply friends and family that Ive handed the drone to are amazed at how easy such a large handle is to manipulate. My only complaint is the placement of the clip. I know that it was designed this way for the grip change, but Im finding it very, very awkward to carry and deploy, so much so that I usually just dont carry it. Unlike jeans, most of my dress pants have vertical openings, making for awkward carry and deployment of the Gunting, quite often catching the pocket with the ramp. And coupled with the fact that Im a desk jockey, sitting all day, the knife had a tendency to work its way out. I know that this issue has been extensively discussed before, and the typical resolution is the inevitable suggestion of a sheath of some type (Ill more than likely wind up going this route). So far, my own experiments have proven to be somewhat awkward, so Im looking for feedback. Here is my question, leaving a sheath carry as a last resort (Im really reluctant to add another EDC item to my belt, Ive got enough crap there as it is: Swisstool, pocket watch belt-pouch, keys, small fixed hawksbill or Moran utility knife, and Mini-Maglight), while utilizing the clip, has anyone found a comfortable method of carrying, and especially deploying, the Gunting from alternative locations (back pockets, IWB front or back, et cetera) to that of the right-front pocket?
Thanks in advance,

Heck, I even found an old thread where Bram discussed the various offerings, and options that addressed those concerns I voiced (it would have helped if I'd been just a bit more patient with using the search feature... "but alas I digress").
