Knife Carry Options, carry security

Carry in your back pocket or IWB. I carry mostly in my back pocket, but careful sitting on leather seats or you can scratch/gouge them with the clip.
 
Raven Concealment Pocket Shield

"The Pocket Shield is a flexible, modular platform which allows an individual to securely and discreetly carry a small defensive implement (such as a firearm, pistol magazine, fixed-blade or folding knife, flashlight, canister of pepper spray, expandable baton or other impact weapon, multi-tool, etc) inside the front pocket of jeans or dress pants without visible pocket clips or printing."

I used one for several years. You can also use a pocket organizer that holds the knife upright in your pocket.
 
A simple and easy solution. These are called Buckaroo Pouches. The tether end is split and that is looped back on a belt loop. Drop your knife in the pouch and then into your pocket. Need your knife pull on the tether, it comes right out from your pocket. Works on any pocket and I've even seen guys carry these IWB. We make em but so do many other folks.

I didn't make this one but I did make the leggings. One advantage of a Buckaroo Pouch is it will come out easily when you've got your leggings on and I think that is a big part of its popularity in the western world.

Yours are better than the one I have which is a bit small with too short a leash/tether. Going to have to hit your site to rectify that.

My wife makes these and I can tell you we sell a bunch of em. We kinda got the pattern down and the leathers to use. The body is mnade from water buffalo. We tested this leather for months on this deal and its worked well. The tether part is a heavier but very flexible oiltan.

If back pocket and clipped keep spine of blade toward seam of pocket. Tends to be opposite than normal strong side carry.
I had a 710 in my back pocket with spine of blade toward center of pocket and it opened :
wish I could find my original post but this refers to it (ignore some of my banter/attempt at humor there )

Recommendation? Post in thread 'Traditional : proud tip/dropping the kick: Questions'

Other question is..would you do it...or just use as is...I plan on using the knife..

If you carry it exclusively in a slip I wouldn't do it. If you carry it loose in pocket I would; especially if there is any chance that the knife opens unusually easily. I have had a knife open in my pocket from snagging on my pocket handkerchief and the tip was all the way down in the handle but not far enough and the hanky snagged the point and pulled it out. Granted it was one of them dambed new fangled thumb stud opening abominations (opens with less force).
You can see the slit in the...

I should have mentioned that my back pocket carry is tip down if it allows. Usually does since I only carry Spyderco folders. That allows spine to be against outside seam of pocket
 
I only buy pants that have watch pockets these days and that's where I carry mine. It lays sideways in the pocket and is very firmly held, nobody notices it and it's in the heavier jean type material & not the thinner hole prone pocket material. Of course I carry a Barlow so a big knife wouldn't fit.
 
I prefer to carry my EDC Leatherman multitool horizontally in a belt pouch located just behind my right hip.

This is secure yet readily accessible. While clearly an "open carry" option, it is unobtrusive and low observable. It even works when wearing a suit or even a Tux (without cummerbund.)

It keeps the weight out of my pocket and avoids wear of the pocket.

I have not tried a large folder such as a Buck 110 in this carry, but my guess is that this would work at least as well.

I recently got one of these for a Buck Saunter 250- it fits well and the pouch is very nice. A very simple, but great idea. I think if more folks knew about them, they would buy them.
