How do you carry your ALOX knives?

I like to put a simple lanyard on my SAK, and shove the knot under my belt, then just drop the knife in th pocket. The lanyard is just long enough to let it hang vertical in the pocket. It also makes it easy to retrieve the knife even sitting down by grabbing the lanyard and pulling it out from under the belt and then pulling up out of the pocket.

I have a quick release hook on the lanyard, so it the lanyard get in the way while using the screw driver, I can just unhook the lanyard.

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.

I like the idea and it so happens there is a spare #2 NiteIze S clip amongst my accessories. Thanks, and I'll let you know how it worked out in a month or so. It seems I'm always on the lookout for good ways to carry my gear.
