Alternate the Benchmade (don't know model) and the CRKT M18. Always have the CRKT KISS on my keychain along with a Swisstech mini tool. Also keep the Spyderco credit card knife in my wallet.

Or......

simply sew on a long narrow patch pocket that would accept a sheath so that one can put the knife and sheath into it.

An extra nice touch would be to sew on a tie or strap to fasten the normal belt loop on the sheath.

This would then be flexible enough to accept a few different sheath fix blade knives.

Lower thigh position or along the calf would seem good unobstrusive places?

Any other suggestions?

I have heard of people modifying their front pockets by running a stitch up the back of the pocket to create a smaller pocket for their clippless knives. Also, I don't know if it was their intention but 5.11 tactical pants have narrow pocket on the right leg that fits my knives just right. I think it was actually intended for a spare mag or tac lite.

I recently read something from Sal Glesser about the Ladybug being worn around climber's necks. With an SAK, I would use a sheath so I could seperate the knife from the necklace. I have one of Normark's sheaths for a Micra. The fit and workmanship on mine is perfect. http://www.mnsi.net/~nbtnoel/micro_rigs.htm

I wear my Native in a concealex sheath from www.rivercitysheaths.com it is a great sheath. With practice the knife can be pulled and opened in one motion.
 
I DEFINATELY need an update....one year later after last post...

A lot of times self-defense is down to having the right deterrent -

Lights -

One of those Photon II or Inova Microlights should fit nicely on the keyring and is almost not there - there are choices of LED colors - the Photons have many more - white is generally useful - but can be "dazzling" in dark environment where your eyes may be dark adapted and you need to continue to see in the dim conditions - white being "bright" can also attract attention - which may or may not be desirable.

Red is the correct color to preserve true night (scoptopic, rods only vision) but since I live in an urban environment and hardly ever use true scotopic night vision - what I need is a light that does not glare/dazzle my eyes and yet I can still see well by - and that for me is Yellow (evidence the use of yellow/amber for fog lights to prevent dazzling when reflected back by white fog).

I got the red sapphire, and I think that the light is only sufficent to read something like a map. I now use a photon white led. And if you close one of your eyes when using the light, you still have 50% night vision with the other eye! ;)

And I also wanted to say Nice thread you started here! I really love to read about what everyone carry in their pockets!

right know, i have my sog trident folder, my bucklite, and the 110 that i customized. working on a sheath for the 110 now.
 
Elbio, that's a great combo. How's that stryker treating you? I've wanted one for a long time. If the linerlock is done right I like them. I have an old AFCK linerlock, abused and still no blade play.
 
Always carry my Buck Strider 880TX, Wallet, Cell Phone, Keys (Held on by a Carabiner which has a Folded Kershaw Blade.

Thanks, I've always said that a folder+flashlight+leatherman is the greatest EDC combo ever. I used to EDC a Fenix but I lost it :(
The stryker arrived today, so I'm not sure I'm ready to comment on it :P I'm convinced Benchmade's linerlock is great and it will certainly serve you well. It's my first knife with linerlock, I have to get used to it (cut myself once already:D ).

Well that's a good excuse to get the pretty amazing Fenix P1D-CE -

I found it to be brighter on High than the devastating SureFire 9P - yes, xenon 3x CR123 - and even on medium brightness (the default) it is about as bright as a Streamlight Scorpion or SureFire 6P - xenon 2xCR123, the low lasts well over 13hours with the brightness better than most 1/2watt LEDs (and MiniMag 2AA)......
all on a single CR123A and easily pocket size.......

Pocket check 12-15-06:

Spyderco Manix
Case amber bone (CV) Large Stockman

That's it! I've lightened my load as of late and it feels great. I used to wear a Hideaway around my neck and keep a couple little tools on my keychain- a SAK classic and a SwissKey, but no longer bother. I still keep a SAK camper and a Leatherman Wave in my briefcase though, so I guess I might be cheating.

Now if you want to talk about what I lug around in my briefcase- which is EDC to and from my office, we have a different story. My "briefcase" is a Pelican 1500 watertight camera equipment/weapon case. I love it! It's the coolest thing ever! It's full of pens and drawing gear. The coolest drawing gizmo I carry is my Parallel Glider portable drafting tool.(instant portable drafting table!) I also carry a set of various Pickett drafting/inking templates, and a nice Rotring compass with pen arm clamp. When I have my briefcase with me, I can work anywhere! (Extremely rare for an artist)

In addition to the SAK and Leatherman, I carry a little zippered, pocketed case which contains:
X-acto knife with spare blades
dental pick
paper awl
swivel-base pin-vise with jewelers drill bits
sewing kit
small Fiskars scissors
set of jewelers files (self-contained in another pin-vise handle)
nice tweezers
set of micro-screwdirvers

I also always carry (in the briefcase) a Surefire E2E. And a calculator, because I'm a nerd like that.

I'm not too sure about Benchmade's liner lock, actually. I EDC'd a Stryker for years and the lock loosened up to the point where it can easily disengage itself. I think the titanium fatigued with time and use, the "spring" of the lock is now extremely weak- nothing at all like it was when it was new. I don't trust it any more.
