How do you carry your ALOX knives?

I think the title is pretty self explanatory... I actually remove the keychain ring and drop them in my right front pocket. However they often fall sideways (which drives me crazy), specially when I am just at home and my keys are not in the same pocket anymore. How do you carry yours? What do you like about this way of carrying it and what drives you @#$! crazy about it.
 
Loose in the front right pocket. I've never fretted about the position it rides in, which is usually horizontal.
 
Kydex Neckers!

Carrying this ALOX in a Necker today:

They're handy and work with gym shorts, etc.
 
Great kydex sheaths - everytime I see them - I like 'em :)

I use to carry min loose in any pocket. Front or back pocket depends on my mood (and the trousers I´m wearing)
 
Usually loose in my pocket as well. If i'm wearing sweats I got one of those cool kydex neckers SAK Guy is showing off. They are SWEET:D.
 
I just carry them dropped in my right front pocket with my keys. When it falls horizontal it bugs me as well, but not enough for me not to carry it.
 
I use a no 2 Nite Ize s-clip. Hang it from the top of my pocket. I like it because it always hangs the right way and it's easy to get to.
 
Loose in pocket, with whatever else happens to be in there. If wearing slacks, which generally have loose pockets, I'll put it in one of my rear pockets, next to either my wallet or bandana.
 
Just loose in my pocket. The Cadet is so thin I barely notice it. I do try not to carry it with my keys or anything that would scratch it up much. I don't mind wear but I don't want big scratches along the anodizing, you know.

Same here. Left front pocket.

Its the best way yet I have found to carry a Pioneer or Farmer, it just disappears because it hangs vertically in the pocket with lots of room to spare for other things.

Looks cool. Does it chew on the top seam of your pocket?

No, I find its less abrasive than your typical Spyderco G10 + clip. Sometimes it takes 2 hands to unclip, but its not a problem since the SAK requires 2 hands anyway.

I also find my jeans do not show a SAK imprint wear like when I used to carry loose. Then the SAK would end up horizontal in pocket and cause the material under tension to wear faster. When it hangs vertically it hangs loose with no material wear I have noticed in the last 3 years.
