I was at church Sunday and I was looking around as i am apt to do and I noticed a lot of pocket clips, even on some older guys. I always kept my knife in my pocket on Sunday when i just had one handers and now i carry either my stockman, or peanut and maybe a SAK. SO i was wondering what ya'll carry on Sunday, or Saturday, or whenever you "clean up"
 
At church I carry a traditional in my front pocket and a one-hander clipped to my back pocket, each a bit smaller and maybe a tad nicer than my usual carry.
 
I usually carry my pearl trapper on Sundays.

My Sunday carry is usually my Peanut. Sometimes one of several small FB's.

It depends if I am a lector or not, because then I wear a jacket and tie (or L/S shirt and tie in the summer). Then it's either my Queen pearl Peanut or Schatt abalone mini-Congress. When I'm not participating directly I have a Boker damascus or Benchmade 440 clipped to my left front pocket, both are smaller and relatively discreet.

I've been noticing pocket clips lately too though I try not to stare too much.
 
I usually have a Benchmade 707 or a Spyderco Urban but sometimes it is a Kershaw Skyline.
 
^^ Those aren't very traditional haha. Anyway, I always carry my Peanut to church. But then again I carry it everywhere. I have also noticed that alot of older guys at church are carrying one-handed knives. The thought of some older gentleman carrying a Spyderco just seems weird to me. :confused:

The one that I really noticed was that we had a lay person preaching and he had a large clip. Now he is a large man so it wasn't glaring and we go to a semi rural church (our baptismal is a horse trough) so its not uncommon to see them with jeans but i figured that they would have a "Sunday Carry" though i don't see a problem with a nice one hander in a good pair of jeans.
 
I don't do any thing different at Church. I carry a one hander in my back pocket and a leatherman wingman in the front left.
I do generally shave and try to wear clothes without holes in them aswell :)
 
It can vary for me depending on what I am wearing, suit I have a boker fixed in the small of my back, and a Kershaw Tilt, zt350cbzdp or a zt 0301 in a pocket. No suit, then probably no boker. And I have a scallion in my Bible case
 
I go to evening service from work so in addition to my modern clip it knife, 7 or 8 times out of ten it's usaully this pretty little hard cutting bastid....

I usually carry at least two traditiionals. Northfield burnt stag #25 barlow (steel bolster and liners), and often a pardue/queen canoe/gunboat in stag. My S&M grandad barlow gets carried a lot at church too.

GEC Northfield Sunfish gets a lot of church time as well as my GEC Northfield # 73 trapper.
 
Just a tad longer than a peanut.

I generally carry the same knife as on other days. And most days that is the mini copperhead:

I almost always carry my mini pocket hunter to church

The only deviation from this is on occasion I'll carry my SBJ (personal favorite)

Usually the Wadsworth sleeveboard.

Because it is so slender, which makes unobtrusive carry in suit pants a breeze.

My Sunday best is an ivory handled swayback. I would like to get a pearl handled knife like the beauty Gus posted above.

Ed, what accounts for the different size of the lower one, age of the knife? I would love to find a slightly larger mini copperheard like that.
