Everyone carries a knife, now HOW do you carry it? a belt clip? pocket clip? sheath? boot? neck knife? Knife concealed as a fro pick?

So tell us what you carry and how you carry it, pictures are appreciated! :thumbup:
 
Carry my PM2 tip up with pocket clip in the back of my right pocket.

sometimes in the otside corner of my right back pocket.
 
I almost always EDC my blades in my coin/5th pocket of my pants.

For me its the most comfortable place to carry and very quick to deploy if need be.

If im carrying a larger knife then I will carry it clipped inside my right front pocket.

Ive never tried carrying in any of my back pockets, might give that a try as well.

But my small Sebenza 21 fits absolutely perfect in the coin pocket.
 
If I can i carry tip up on my right hand side..

Sorry about the pic...it's a hard angle..
 
My larger folder is in a pocket sheath in my back pocket. Smaller folder is in my front pocket with my keys. Navaja is in a pocket sheath in my jacket pocket.
 
My PacSalt clips to my pocket. Most of my fixed blades are horizontal cross draws. It'll probably stay that way until I get some time to make some new sheaths for it... I plan on making some IWB sheaths for both cross draw and for between the 3 and 5 o'clock positions.
 
I keep my knife in my watch pocket, unless i carry a multi tool, then the multi to gets the watch pocket and the knife gets the regular pocket :)

I like to have a "large" and a "small" folder on me at all times. Today it happened to be my PM2 and my mini Ritter. Most of my pants consist of cargo pants like the dickies I'm wearing in the pic. I clip one to my RF pocket then the other to the cargo pocket. I also carry a SAK in my RF pocket with some of my keys. (house, room, toolboxes)

Then I carry a small neck knife, such as the brous blades silent soldier I had today. I've been liking the CRKT minimalist a bit too. I need more neck knives. I need more knives in general...lol.

I'm surprised to see that a lot of you carry in either back pocket or pocket watch pocket (5th pocket) with your blades. Where do you guys carry your blades were knives are frowned upon?

In pocket (not clipped) or in a jacket pocket.
 
I don't like clips or for my knife to go to the bottom of my pocket so I employ a weighted lanyard to keep it upright and easy to get to.
 
eFour inch (closed length) lockback Schrade on a lanyard in my right hand trousers pocket. Victorinox Spartan (pocket toolbox MacGyver knife) in a belt sheath on my left side.

I was recently given a small Buck lockback just under four inches closed with a pocket clip, so I have been experimenting with using a pocket clip. I tried clipping it to my right rear trousers pocket, but it worked loose and fell out onto the car seat several times - I thought it was lost. I have also experimented with clipping the knife to my right hand trousers pocket - this is comfortable and secure but the shiny clip is a clue that I have a knife and there is no lanyard to tie the knife to my belt or hang it from my neck. I am also experimenting with clipping the knife (tip up carry) inside the waistband of my trousers where it can be concealed by a belt. This s comfortable and secure, but a little bit slow to take the knife out; the inside the waistband carry seems best for a backup knife for me.

1. I live in Chicago - which is not very knife friendly.
2. I work in professional services and am usually wearing a suit, or sportcoat and slacks.
 
I carry either a Kershaw Cryo or a Kershaw FrankenSkyline. The Cryo is tip-up and goes in the right front pocket. The FrankenSkyline is tip-down and also goes in the right front pocket.
 
Right front pocket with my keys. Yeah it gets scratched but I don't have it to look at. Oft times I'll have a micra in my other pocket with my wallet. I never carry in my back pockets because it's not comfortable when I'm driving.
 
Folders- in front left pocket.
Fixed blades- IWB (basically invisible)
NO NECKERS! (they move around too much & print if you have to lean over)
