I do. I am 6' tall hover around 195lbs wear blue jeans every day that i can. Keep it in my left front pocket. In a pair of Levi's it is undetectable. Great EDC! Been EDC'n it since Christmas. Never a problem seated or standing. Sheeple friendly when hidden...then unleashed...well..i get some raised eyebrows. A buddy made this comment "That's like carrying a burnzomatic propane torch instead of a bic lighter..." Obviously he's not a knife knut

Sorry no pix...but you can imagine.

I alternate with my Izula, but when I carry the BK11 it is extrmely un detectable. I carry it inide the waistband with the KABAR TDI Clip. It hugs my hip like a second skin.

I carry my necker in one of my EDC sheaths on my belt and it doesn't stand out at all:

Here's the sheath:

Wearing it on my right hip:

And here it is with my t-shirt over the knife:

Hope that helps.

Untucked? I just started carrying my BK11, left side, cross draw, right below my neatly tucked in shirt. I work for a local municipality where the police chief likes to rewrite laws to his own liking. Seems to think blades over 3" are illegal. Even though this one comes in right at 3", I love to see him squirm.

Shoulda heard the discussion over my Microtech Lightfoot!

I wear mine to work every day around my neck. I have to wear a suit often. Its totally undetectable and far more comfortable than you would think.

I did for a few months. Just throw the knife and sheath in a back pocket. It doesn't show much if your shirt don't cover it, and the little bit that does show doesn't scream "knife".

Yes I EDC mine everyday.I wore it neck carry on a chain for two months,which was very comfortable,not to heavy and concealed very well.The only thing I didn't like about it was,how it would swing side to side when bending over picking stuff up or whatever,and the noise it made while doing so.Recently I have been wearing it on my belt,I haven't gotten the TDI clip for it yet.So I used some zip ties on the sheath,so I could slide it on and off my belt.Works great.Nice and close to the body,doesn't dig into your side while sitting or standing.I would still rather have the clip just so I don't have to take my belt off to side it on.But it works and it didn't cost me 20$.
IMHO the BK11 is the perfect EDC fixed blade knife.Me loves it.

If it's not too much to ask...can you post a side-by-side pick of the becker and the Izula? How do they compare? Heads-up test.

I'll do better than one!

I find that the Izula fits my hand better and has a shrper edge. The grind on my BK11 was kind of low and not very sharp when I got it. I resharpened it to a 25 degree angled edge and for some reason cant seem to keep it as sharp as my Izula. The BK11 with the KA BAR TDI clip is easier to EDC, as I can keep it inside the waistband of my pants and it doesnt print through my shirt at all. The Izula with the RC MOLLE lock has to be worn on the belt outside the waistband and while still pretty flat, can print through a shirt. The Izula also has a pointier tip than the BK if that makes any difference. Both are still great knives and love em both, however I must admit, the Izula sees more carry time.

With either blade you choose, you will not be sorry. (you will probably end up with both anyways)
