Carrying a Waki

Personally I'm leery about lifting the blade over my head like that to take it out or put it back.
I don't know if it would work but what about tip up with an open spine?
This would also create less above your head if you were in brush or something.
Just a thought.
 
how about Book of Eli style, on the back, handle towards your strong side yet facing down, so the tip is up towards your weak side?
 
Either cross draw on the belt, or baldric, both weak side. Make sure the sheath has plenty of carry options as carrying one style for very long gets old really fast. :D

That looks very familiar.
 
One thing is for sure, if any person sees you carrying a Waki they will be wary of you. Most folks just don't walk around with swords nowadays. I finally got around to ordering a sheath for mine. I may just "carry" it in my Jeep. I just have to come up with a good story of "why" in case a police officer sees it. Maybe one of these:

1. Where did that come from? Somebody must have left it here.
2. I use it as a machete.
3. I carry it because it can penetrate your bullet proof vest.
4. I am going to commit hara-kiri because the IRS is after me.
5. It's for killing Zombies.
 
Those are all good. In Cali it would be: I'm going to use it to chase Arnold to Arizona so they can deport him.
