How do you carry your knife?

Clipped to right pocket and/or IWB between the pocket and 3 o'clock belt loop is most common for myself.
Typically, I carry a "regular-sized" folding blade and as well as a smaller one (such as a deep carry wire clip Dragonfly or clipless small Seb 21 in pocket).

There was a time that I carried clipped in the rear right pocket or IWB just above and off to the side the wallet, but my preferences have changed due to an incident I witnessed a few years ago. I no longer care to have a blade located on my body in a place where others may have visual/hands on access to without my registering of it first.

I dig this carry as well. If too sizeable a folder, however, I've found it uncomfortable at times when being active.
 
I carry my Kershaw Blur blem tip up everyday at work like this. I'm a delivery guy and use it all the time and it needs sharpend every few days. I tried going back to a box cutter but its just not as fun.

When I'm at home or around town I carry an Esee Izula clipped to my pants around my belt at about 4 o'clock position. Sorry no pic for that til I get off work
 
I always carry a larger folder clipped to the inside of my pants just to the right of my belt buckle before the first belt loop with a lanyard attached for quick deployment. I tend to carry smaller folders loose in the front left pocket. I'm just starting to carry my trusty 'ol PM2 loose in my front right pocket with a weighted lanyard at work since I carry my phone in my right breast pocket. I'm really liking it so far.
 
Where knives are frowned upon?? I live in Nevada, even my wife carries a knife!! ;-) Cool thread though. I carry in my right hand pants pocket. Today it's a PM2 Sprint Run with Coyote handle and S35VN. When I carry a fixed I carry it in a cross draw on my left side. I have a beautiful Dozier that is about perfect. I had a cross draw made by a leather craftsman that is tooled with my initials. Interestingly, while horseback you learn things about carry positions. Put chaps on and your pocket clipped EDC is not accessible. Put it in your back pocket and it will scratch your saddle and wear out your pants. Hence a small fixed blade in a horizontal cross draw.

If fixed, left side horizontal crossdraw is my preference as well. Accessibility for both hands and it doesn't hinder movement :thumbup:
 
Clipped in right front pocket. Never thought about between zipper and first belt loop. I'm in Texas and always carry a knife ,only place I've ever been that it is frowned upon is Sea World.
 
I have found this style of carry to work the best for me.The cheese grater was a joke. I just didn't feel like taking another pic

Ah man, a variety of different methods. I always have a knife clipped in my right front pocket. These days it's my sebenza insingo. I will also sometimes have another folder on my belt in a sheath or one clipped into my left back pocket.
