How to carry?

So I got a Spyderco Tenacious for EDC, but I was unprepared for the actual size of it. The length isn't a problem, but the width is considerably more than I was expecting. Normally I carry the folding clip on knives in my right front pocket with my wallet, but if I do that with this one I'm going to wind up needing both hands to get my wallet out.

How does everyone else who owns the Tenacious carry theirs?
 
I usually dedicate my right front pocket to my knives and I'll carry my wallet in my jacket or back pocket.
 
I put my spydercos in my right front pocket as well, but I have my phone in that pocket, not my wallet. My phone (being slimmer than my wallet) is usually easy to acces in that pocket with a knife in it. I can see how a wallet would be much more difficult.

Maybe try the knife in the right back pocket (unless thats where your phone is).
I have tried to carry knives with my wallet in the right back pocket, but I'm too afraid that the knife will fall out when I sit down. Plus that pocket gets crowded when the wallet doesn't have any wiggle room back there. Its more of a loner than the phone.
 
I carry my knife in the right back pocket most of the time. Unless I'm gonna be sitting in a non padded seat (not that it's uncomfortable but I don't want to scratch the seat) and I'm gonna be using the knife really frequently. It's really nice to be able to put my hands in my pockets lol. It's also never fallen out while running, riding in the car, bicycle riding, four wheeler riding etc.
 
I carry a knife and a wallet in the RFP. No issues for me, but then again, it all depends on the pants you're rocking. Skinny jeans, baggy gang banger pants, slacks, etc.
 
I used to carry my wallet and knife in the right front pocket and it worked ok for me with larger knives than the Tenacious. I recently have finally adjusted to carrying my wallet in my right rear pocket like a lot of people do and it frees up my right front pocket as a dedicated knife pocket. It is really nice, as I have a fairly regular edc sometimes depending on pants, but for a regular jeans edc: left front pocket is the Iphone (magpul case works and is slim which helps) along with my keys. The right front pocket is for knives and wallet in right rear. I could also put a small slim folder on the left front as well if I feel like it. If you do not mind your keys with your knife then you could put them in that pocket and dedicate your left front mainly for your phone.
The Tenacious is not to big compared to many other folders out there (I consider it a good medium sized knife)
 
Right-front pocket - EDC knife clipped (Spyderco Sage 3 CF weekdays, Spyderco Paramilitary weekends), money, Vic Cadet
Right-rear pocket - wallet
Left-front pocket - phone (Galaxy S4)
Left-rear pocket - 1xAAA LED flashlight (Maratac AAA)

I don't wear tight jeans or pants so I don't have any problems reaching for money or Vic Cadet in my RF pocket.
