I'm only asking because I'm cross eye dominant sometimes. Write left handed, bat right handed, shoot a pistol left handed but a rifle right handed.

I find myself struggling to keep my edc slippie in the same pants pocket. By and large though I hold a kitchen knife with my left hand in most cases. But a pocket knife in my right hand. I keep the knife in my right pocket and usually try to grab at the nail nick using my left hand to open it, simultaneously slipping it into my right hand at the same time. What do you folks do? Or do you switch it around like me as well?

When I have one knife on me it's in my left front pocket. If I carry a second it's in my watch pocket.
 
Right along with bills. Left pocket holds change and whatever else could ding up my knife.
 
Creature of habit, I carry my knife, keys and coins in the right front pocket. No reason for it, just tradition. I know right away if I've got everything, or if something is missing.
 
Are you guys righties? My wallet is in my left pocket as well. I like my knife there but I find it unnatural.
 
I do different things with different hands, too. With a knife, I'm right handed, but I carry in my left front pocket. I've done it that way since I was a kid, and it just seems natural to me.
 
Im a righty, don't carry a wallet and reach with my right hand into my right pocket. Right pocket for knife and soft items left pocket for everything else.
 
I'm right handed, and when I need my knife, I don't think twice. It's there in the right front. I carried my wallet in a front pocket for a couple years when I was younger, but have carried it in the back pocket for 40 years now with no mishap. I might slip the wallet into the front left pocket when I'm in big crowds/shady situations, but that's rare these days.
 
One thing I never do is coin pocket. I'm pretty sure I would forget and wash a knife eventually!

I'm right handed and carry it in the right front pocket. I'm with you Eric, if I used the watch pocket, is be washing a knife every day!
 
Right front pocket, with my wallet, chapstick, and sometimes a small top. Left front pocket is for my phone, solo. Back pockets are empty, but keys dangle into the right one.

I'm a righty.
 
These days I get to wear overalls everyday. They have two slim vertical pockets which each carries a knife. Otherwise, they get put in the left front with nothing else but a handkerchief. If I must carry something else in that pocket, I wrap the knife in the handkerchief...... In jeans, small knives get stuck in the watch pocket.
 
Depending on how much I baby that particular knife either RFP by itself, watchpocket, or back pocket.
 
I'm right handed. My most used items are in my right front pocket. Knife and keys.
