EDC Folder sheath and position suggestions

[TacticalBlade]

Hey Guys,

I realize that this is complete personal preference but I'm interested in moving my EDC folder to my belt. I'd like to be able to use my pocket to hold other things. Would you reccomend a horizontal or vertical sheath and if i was looking for a un-obtrusive design can someone help make sugestions?

Likewise, If anyone has suggestions for "Tactical pants" that offer a boot cut leg with a few more pockets that would be good too.

I'm a FF/Medic so black pants or navy pants would be preferred.
Thanks

Leather? Kydex? Nylon? Doesn't matter?

When I wear a knife on my belt, whether FB or folder, I like to wear it on my left side about 10:00 I'm RH and I like a crossdraw better than any other draw. That position also lets me get to the knife LH if I need to and if I'm sitting down, it keeps the blade available in front of me. A horizontal sheath also looks somewhat like a cell phone pouch so it may be a bit less attention-getting if it's horizontal.

If you're looking for a workhorse rather than a showhorse, Maxpedition has some pretty good sheaths that mount in different ways. If you want something leather that's custom made for your knife, I can recommend JRE Industries. They did a very nice FB sheath for me exactly the way I had specified. There are quite a few other custom sheath makers on the boards here as well.
