CRK’s and flashlights. How do you carry?

I really like the olight baton 2 for daily carry. The clip has really good retention, and along with its small size, gives you a lot of option for carry. I like parrying my edc with a keybar because I can clip my waist, freeing up more pocket space.
 
The specific knives and lights change since I have many of them, but typically:

Back right pocket: Dango minimalist wallet
Back left pocket: handkerchief and OTF knife of the day clipped
Front left pocket: phone and flashlight clipped if in 5 pocket pants, or flashlight in small side pocket if in cargo pants
Front right pocket: folder clipped, prytools/LM Micra/lipbalm
 
Today's EDC. The wallet goes on my belt and holds both my cards and my keys, thus liberating two pockets. The knife and light occupy my front left pocket. Not pictured, my phone goes in the front right pocket. That's everything! The great thing is that it frees up both hands for beers. While this is frowned upon at the office, I have not been fired for it yet. I'm interpreting that as a kind of endorsement.

No, I don't have leather-working super powers. I get my stuff from a small business in Arizona called Thor's Hammer Custom Leather. I'm not affiliated with him or anything like that, but he's a master craftsman. For me, wallets have always been a source of frustration. We sit on our wallets. We sweat all over them in the summer. The result is back pain and wet cash. We are in jeopardy of losing them and pickpockets are still a thing. Moreover, pocket real estate is at a premium if you're an EDC type of dude. I decided to solve all of those problems and have this custom made. My keys fit inside, but that was a happy accident. In order to achieve this, I went full twentieth century and ditched the key fob to my car. To unlock the door, I physically insert the key into the lock. Millennials everywhere are aghast. Most people will not want the security straps that snap on the back, but they bolster my confidence when I'm traveling or in crowds. In short, I'm not sitting on my wallet or soaking it with butt sweat. I can't lose it and no one can pick my pocket unless they really want a fight.
