How do you carry most obscurely?

I'm curious how guys carry their BK11 or BK14 if they want it to be as obscure as possible. I am not asking for the sake of carrying illegally; but sometimes you are in a setting where you want to have it, it is legal to have it, but some folks get creeped out by it or think you a redneck if they see it. Of course, when something comes up where they need for you to have it, you are like Rudolph and his nose.
Where do you carry to keep it unnoticed until you need it?
 
Serious answer: In public, high traffic areas, I just slip either of those knives into a front pocket. Larger knives go into the pack instead of strapped to the pack.
Not-so-serious answer: Flexxx has a carry method in which the knife cannot be spotted as you approach him from the front.
 
Belt carry. I'll post a pic of my sheath for the 11/14 later when I get home unless someone else does first.
 
EDC my 14 around my neck.

Have been searched numerous times (at hockey games not by cops ;) ) and it's never been found.

It's illegal to carry where I live. :)
 
Get a boot-clip for your sheath and carry inside waistband with a sweater or somthing hanging over, no-one will see it.'
I carry like that all the time, all the way up to ESEE 4. No-one can see I`m carrying until I remove the knife from its sheath...
 
I like to let the fat seep out around the knife and hide it. :D

IWB, easy to do with just a little paracord.

I have a TDI belt clip on mine so its on my belt under my shirt, nobody will ever see it untill the time comes when it needs to be seen. When im wearing a jacket though I take about 6 ft of paracord tie it in one big loop then put my arms through it then over my neck so it vitrually becomes a shoulder holster and its tucked up into my armpit were no one will see it.
 
I carry my 11 in my boot but keep an eye on laws where you live.
It's okay for me if the knife is showing but if my pant leg hides it at all it's immediately seen as a weapon.

Yep, I do this with an Izula II all the time with no problems (I don't carry a BK14/11 due to blade length in my area). My belt even covers about 95% of the clip.

The BK11 would be even more discrete than my Izula II since the hand is significantly shorter.
 
For me, I just slip it in the front pocket and the cell phone sit in front of it. The phone is an HTC Rezound, to the screen size is as large as the sheath.

I don't really have to worry much about concealing, but I've found that the 11 and 14 practically disappear in any pocket. In cargo pants, you'll never get noticed.

"Live"? I own the place! ;)

Seriously though, a cop I know told me it was illegal...

That sucks. In TN we can carry up to a 4" blade concealed. Anything over that can be carried as long as it is exposed and not intended as a method of self defense. At least as far as I can tell from the law I read.
 
I neck carry an azwelke sheath tucked in my shirt. A CCW permit is required though.

In Colorado we can conceal a knife if its blade length is 3.5 inches or less. Makes my BK 14 a perfect EDC.

In TN you can buy M-4's at the supermarket!
 
I have no frickin clue how to figure out Arizona knife laws, so I only carry my 11 when I'm out in the desert/woods and make no effort to hide it. Scout carry, strong hand, up against my belt buckle in one of Nick's great sheaths.

At work I carry a slipjoint with a P7 clip attached to the bail so it hangs vertically. It doesn't print in any meaningful way and since I carry a pen clipped right next to it anyway, there's not much to announce its presence. During the workday I wear slim fit clothes so an 11/14 in a KA-BAR sheath would print like crazy if I put it in a pocket or wore it around my neck. Tucked in shirts make IWB impossible to disguise as well. Plus nobody here would 'get' someone carrying an FB anyway. Even a slipjoint makes people stare.
