Favorite carry method for your EDC

[stevekolt]

For added clarification, what Buck model are you referencing?

 

[DeSotoSky]

For years I carried a BuckLite 422 vertically in a rear pants pocket next to my wallet.... Then I discovered pocket clips, current favorite is a Paradigm in a R front jeans pocket.

 

[Makael]

Buck 110 slim pr . Brown Micarta. Love that knife

 

[Liberando]

Pocket carry for any of the 300 series, even the big ole 307. No sleeve...keys, change, knife.

 

[SWBKT]

Sprint or Vantage. Deep pocket clips.

 

[K-Lastima]

302 loose in pocket no slip
Oldskool.

 

[afishhunter]

The 300 series and not a Buck slipjoints (except the two blade slipjoint folding hunter) loose in my pocket.
110/112 in the "belt sheath" they come with. (Buck calls it a "belt sheath", so I will as well.)
The two blade slipjoint folding hunters also come with a Buck 110 type "belt sheath". Like Buck, the manufacturer of those two blade slipjoint folding hunters also call it a "belt sheath". I use the "belt sheath" they come with to carry the two blade slipjoint folding hunters.
Buck 877 and 460 fixed blades: in a belt sheath.

I'm very Sorry. A few 300 series, a few 110's, one each 112, 460 fixed blade, and (Walmart SFO White Handle, Made in USA) 877 (or is it a 887?) fixed blade, are the only Buck knives I have. Please forgive me. My total Buck accumulation (I don't "collect"; I "accumulate") is under a score.

Question for you, stevekolt : What do you see as the defining difference between a "belt sheath" and a "belt pouch", insofar as carrying a knife is concerned?
Do I need to change my answer for the 110, 112, and the two blade slipjoint folding hunters?

 

[Old Hunter]

Up to and including the Buck 307 in the LFP (sans slip). Buck 112 or 110 on belt in sheath. OH

 

[RAZORBLADES]

I carry a 2dot 110 most of the time in a leather low rider sheath on my left hip.all folding hunters go in a sheath on my belt.I am still old school,most of the high tech- gadget knives I have no use for,when a plain ol square bolstered heavy Buck 110 gets the job done from big to small jobs .

300 series I carry loose in my pocket.

110, 112, 192, 196 get belt sheaths, right hand side.

500 series (501, 503) also get carried loose in my pocket.

 

[JD Bear]

Usually a belt sheath. Sometimes if I'm just hanging around the house I'll even throw a 501 in a sheath. If I didn't miss out on the smoky mountain 110 in burnt bone with a pocket clip I'd be carrying that a whole lot in the pocket. But, I regrettably missed out so in the sheath they go...

 

[pjsjr]

Buck 898 Impact clipped to the right front pocket, and 308 Canoe in left front pocket.

 

[Jeff of the North]

Most every day I have a 55 loose in my front pocket, or a small Vantage with the clip removed although I recently discovered that a week's worth of hiking will play havoc with color on the scales of my Cabela's Vantage. No more loose carry for that one.

Next for most usage is a 112 Ranger Pro or a 110 of some sort in a sheath on my belt. By the way, are we referring to the "pouch" as the belt type that doesn't use any type of restraint at the top? If so, I don't have one yet but I am considering purchasing a leather crossdraw off the Bay to try.

Most of my large Vantages see some limited carry via their clips at some point and now I can add a new 112 Slim Pro to that list. As Mak has suggested in the past, that model is perfect for carry in shorts.

I don't have a favorite but I'll select loose in pocket due to frequency.

At work I carry the large Vantage Pro 20cv clipped in my rf pocket along with a 303 cadet deep pocket. Then on days off and outdoors I carry my 110 in belt sheath. I really wish wrangler was still making the jeans with a vertical knife pocket. Those worked great and a 110 fit perfect and was hardly noticeable.

 

[guy g]

Of the 4 I am carrying today .. 3 are loose in cargo shorts, 1 of those in a pouch.View attachment 1382557

 

[Jeff#103]

There is a fifth option: neck knife in a kydex sheath on a bead chain. Lately I have been carrying a #112 Slim in my front pocket (with a clip), and a Hogue neck knife.

 

[Lesknife]

I’d like to add that in my work I often have to keep hold of something while I retrieve my knife so that’s the main reason why I edc a one handed flipper with a pocket clip. It just makes for more efficient and convenient use in a more demanding way. Otherwise I would prefer a 110 /112 sheath carry and a 303 / 301 in pocket. I guess when I’m in the outdoors or at leisure I like to take my time and enjoy everything and the old school way is more traditional and it gets the job done in those situations.

 

[David Martin]

I like the 70's scalloped top 110 sheath for that model. Riding on the left. My Duke
In the same type sheath and riding on the right. I carry my Buck large Trapper 334
in a custom pouch sheath from Mak on the left . DM

 

[honestlyinsane]

Carry my spitfire. I. Right front pocket . Tip down. I love that this knife gives me that option. As most clips are on the end of the knife. I guess I am weird I prefer it at the the pivot.

 

[st8yd]

110 slim or 486 clipped outside rfp and 501 loose in rfp.
