I know it's personal preference, but how do you carry yours and why?

I just got my first Mnandi... It will replace the Case Peanut that has been riding in the bottom of my pocket. This will be weekday office carry in slacks. I'm thinking of carrying in the pouch, sans pocket clip, left side pocket, allowing me to 'squeeze' it out of the pouch into my right hand. ;)
 
with the pocket clip. it looks great, more like a nicely designed pen clip than a knife clip.
Besides, I carry all my knives with a clip, just used to it. no need to bang 'm up by having them in my key pocket.

Shirt pocket next to your pen, Nobody will know what it is.................

Left front pocket in a CRK Calfskin Slip Pouch, Keeps the knife new and keeps all the pocket lint and crap out of it.

:yawn::yawn::yawn: Works for me :yawn::yawn::yawn:
 
I usually carry my Mnandi in the pouch, with the pocket clip. The Mnandi pocket clip is the classiest knife clip on the planet, and I think the knife looks better with it, whether I use it or not (I occasionally do, by the way). After a while, the pouch forms around the knife like conformally coated plastic. The clip serves to form a contour in the leather that, along with other contours, keeps the knife form falling out of the pouch.

Always clipped. The Clip is just one more well thought out and beautiful feature of the Mnandi.It's very elegant yet very tough at the same time and relatively cheap to replace. I'm sure a lot of people think it's a pen when they see it protruding.
 
Clipped to my front right jeans/slacks/pants pocket so I don't have to mess with a pouch. It's handy. I use it all the time, but mostly as a letter opener in my line of work.

Where did that pouch come from mate?

Is CRK or did someone else make it

Cheers
 
For jeans carry I say pouch, for dress slacks (where IMO a Mnandi belongs) clip it.
 
That clip is sweet, the best looking in the industry, but I just have an unsettling feeling that that little/light Mnandi will slip right off the pocket. The clip tension is perfect and I would probably never lose it, but it's in the pouch with no clip for now.
 
No clip ... no pouch. Just drop it my pocket. Been carrying my Mnandi that way for five years and it still looks fine.
 
I carry all my knives clipped in my front right pocket. Occasionally will clip my mnandi in a shirt pocket.
 
A clip is a requirement for me (yep personal preference). With a knife clipped I know exactly where to find it every time.
 
DEFINITELY POUCH!

I lost one that was clipped to my pocket. It's $300 I will never see again.
 
I vote clip. That said, I did have one time when I sat down that the clip got hung up on something and bent way out (I carry it in my back pocket). Good thing I noticed before I lost the knife.
