Those three are a great start, welcome to the addiction😉
It's not a question of too few pockets but of too few hands.
Have you considered a belt sheath, that's how I keep the Mnandi away from my wallet, keys, large 21, carry gun, etc.
That way you don't have to worry about how many pockets are on your pants.
I used to think that belt sheaths were stupid but you can get such low profile versions now that if you don't tuck in your shirt no one will know that you have it on- works great.

I bought a bigger table.
This is a pic I just took of most og my UG/CGG's.
That's one heck of a table!!! That's a George Nakashima table, isn't it? Walnut Trestle table, right?. Absolutely beyond beautiful table. Arguably, Nakashima is to tables what Chris Reeve is to knives.
That table may be worth as much as all the CRK's sitting on it. Beautiful CRK's on a beautiful Nakashima. :thumbup:
I actually have been looking, but haven't found the perfect one. What do you recommend for a belt sheath?

Thank you. Here's the whole table...
I'm waiting on an end table now, here's the raw wood.

After seeing lone's collection of CRKs I was wondering how many knives I actually own. After digging through backpacks and drawers I think I found most. Soon I should outnumber the other knives with CRKs... Still love the Ruana's however☺️

Ok, I'll play. My current collection with the CRK's centered for good reason. 
Incidentally, my CRK's are rather a departure from my tactical knife preferences of the last 25 years or so. I find myself liking tactical knives less and liking CRK'S more...

Gary Graley or Vess Leatherworks are great starts. You can also find lots of makers in the maker/provider sections of the forum that do really nice sheaths.
You could also place an add in the wtb section and see who finds you😊
The one I have for my Mnandi is made by Vess and I couldn't be happier with it. If I nit picked I'd get it made with a small Tek lok rather than a loop to make taking it on and off easier. I recently changed to a different gun belt and the loop isn't big enough to slip over the buckle on this one😞
He makes some with the old fashioned metal clip but for a $500 knife I'd like a little more security.
My buddy has the CRK (gfeller) sheath and it's really nice, just not very low profile.
If I remember correctly if you YouTube CRK sheaths you'll see some good options of what's out there. You'd probably find some good threads if you search here as well.

Here you go...
It was my first ever CRK. I loved it the moment I saw it.
Also, thank you for the second picture of the raw wood for your end table. I dream of having a Nakashima table some day. He is a true craftsman and a master of his art.

Wow, that's a nice one!
And you're welcome. I didn't know a thing about the maker until I stumbled across the table at an antique shop, even though it's not very old at all. I just saw it and had to have it, like you and your UG. Then I saw the price tag, and about fell out!
