The leather sheath supplied is set up for horizontal carry. I'm right handed and I wear it on my left side, up front by the buckle and do the ol' cross draw. It's out of the way and easily accessible while sitting too! Kydex sheaths are also available though. Hope this helps!
Edit to add.... If you wanted to carry it vertical in the leather sheath, I see some people have just attached another leather loop through the one on the sheath, seems to work. (Hope that makes sense) lol.

Not sure if this will help, but it's the best I can do.
This is how I carry mine for work. This knife will do whatever you ask of it! It is my only fixed blade and it has been on my belt since the day I got it!!
Mine is 3v. Takes a screaming edge, will cut ANYTHING and holds that edge very well! Also, I don't let it get very dull and with frequent touch ups it stays wicked sharp!
Worn like this under a T shirt, no one will know it's there.
Excellent knife and the sheath is pretty damn good also!!

This is the horizontal sheath that comes with this knife. It is lined with plastic to protect against the blade cutting the leather inside the sheath.
I have owned this one for about three weeks and have carried it every day. I also (still) carry a folder but primarily pull out the Guardian3 when I need a blade, as it seems to provide a quicker presentation.
This one is in M390, but I also have one coming in the mail in CPM-3V.
I own other fixed blades, but they are all vertical sheaths and I don't carry them. Here in "warm" Florida, many of us have an untucked t-shirt, which completely hides this knife. (I tucked in my shirt for this pic.) It does lay flat on my belt and does NOT print through my t-shirt. I am right-handed, and carry it in a "cross-draw" position. Although I wear it all day, I never notice that I have it on my belt until I need a knife and it is so available.
The design of this blade is excellent. Due to the finger choil which is intended to be always used in operation, it is possible to get away with the "shorter" handle and still achieve a full grip with my size-Large hand.
It's a great blade.

In addition to the excellent horozontal sheath provided with the G3, it also fits perfectly in a Bark River Mini Fox River cross draw sheath.

Because of the angle of the pic it looks huge, but it covers up completely with an untucked t-shirt. Brad also has kydex available on his website & combined with a Spyderco G Clip, it gives you multiple ways to carry it.
