Do you wheir your knife clipped or not?

I will always wear the knife clipped unless I am wearing office attire and it won't be as discreet. I really don't like bulk in my pockets and will wear anything I can on my belt or belt loop: keys, phone, multitool, knife.
 
I always carry clipped unless I'm working at my companies storefront, then I usually prefer to carry concealed in my hilt pocket (still clipped but burried so deep it's unnoticable) or I'll just carry my fixed blade (same pocket, concealed under my belt). It's not a legal concern, but working in a store there are occasionally people nervous or prying. Our manager actually only learned today that it was legal to carry knives where we live, he thought there was strict regulation like we have with guns.
 
I prefer either on the belt or in the pocket. I have destroyed too many pairs of jeans using clips.
 
in my pocket if im walking, clipped to my back pocket at work and clipped in my waistband while bike riding.

I do not wear my knife as a legal weapon - because it is not. I carry it because I like it - clipped. And I save my pocket space for other staff.
 
If it's got a clip I wear it with the clip. If not then I have it sit in my pocket with a paracord lanyard sticking out to get it a little easier.
 
Never clipped these days. Comfortability in hand, and subtle carry. In jeans, it doesn't really matter as the knife sits in place well. Only minus is that I don't want to carry liner/framelocks because of this. Not a biggie.
 
I recently got rid of my Skyline, and I had never used the pocket clip. I wish I would have now because I’ll never know how tight it was.

Ooh, in the beginning question of this thread I referred to knives as weapons, and it’s not how I feel about knives its more the way a 3rd person could look at them.
 
Usualy I wear my knives clipped to pocket, right one. If there is such ocasion that clipped knife would not be appropriate I take SAK Soldier Alox with me...
 
Almost always clipped in the right front pocket. Only hassle I've ever had was when I was entering a college football stadium and was told that I could toss my Kershaw Leek (Damascus) in the trash or leave. I left and stored the knife outside the stadium. I have had unclipped knives fall out of my pocket in bathrooms and when lying on the sofa.

Wearing a clipped knife does not make it a weapon. The clip just malkes it easy and quick to get to when you need it for a task. A firearm is my, and most others weapon.

If a knife has a clip, I clip it. If not I don't.
 
I prefer to clip my knives, but it does depend on my surroundings. I once was at a pro sporting event and the LEO at the front gate saw the clip and asked me to conceal it. Out of sight out of mind. Since then If I suspect there is gonna be some brew-ha-ha about it, I'll just drop it down in my pocket.
