Saw this in an old cowboy movie. Haven't used it much, but seems OK so far.

I saw that Cowboy movie when it was NEW.I started carrying fixed blades that way ever since.tom.
We talked about this in another forum. AG Russell's Woodswalker comes with what he calls a "hip pocket sheath", but everyone that posted who owned one said they carried it in a back pocket. The general consensus was that it was a handy little blade that rode pretty unobtrusively in the back pocket.

I really need to get one of those woodswalkers.
I tried carrying a 4 1/2" Aikuchi in my back pocket, but with an overall length of 8 3/4" it was rather uncomfortable. I actually think inside the waistband carry is a little more comfortable, since you're not sitting on the knife. Just my opinion.

Illegal as hell too since I see you live in California!
There has been some debate on this in some other thread here recently. I think R.W. Clark is of the opinion that you can carry a concealed fixed blade up to 2.5" in CA. My reading of the statute (PC12020) suggests that it is illegal to carry any fixed blade no matter what its length in any other way but plainly visible in a belt sheath in this State.

The law in CA is that it's classified as a dirk or dagger if it is capable causing great bodily harm. Dirks or Daggers cannot be carried concealed. Nevermind the local ordinances.
Personally I think it comes down to intent (yours) and how fresh the donuts were at the beginning of the shift (the Officers).

The lovely Mrs. Razor and I were eating dinner at a restaurant in one of those large highway rest stations on the way to Albany a couple of years back. At some point I noticed a middle-aged black man wearing (among other things) a casual vest, something similar to what you might wear with a matching three-piece suit (though obviously intended to be worn without). The back of the vest was hiked up, because it was caught on the butt of the knife he was carrying in his back pocket.
From what I could see it was a pretty average hunting knife in a black leather belt sheath. The sheath was tucked into his back pocket as in the photo in this thread. When next I saw him, making his way from his table to the salad bar, he'd fixed the problem, and the knife was no longer visible.
He's lucky it was me that saw him, and not someone more hoplophobic.
