This is in no way meant to infringe on UnknownVT's thread EDC - What's in Your Pocket(s)?? .

It's just to get an idea what you knife knuts, like me, carry in your three standard carry positions.

In my pocket with my change and stuff nothing bigger than 3 1/2" closed, and this is usually a slipjoint, Queen D-2 Congress with burnt Stag scales(SAKs usually are on the keyrings), clipped to my pocket, an all stainless onepiece milled handle Crawford One Hand Knife(similar to AG Russels One Hand knife, only better, and on my hip or in a Kydex sheath tucked in my right rear pocket with a paracord/ballchain lanyard anchored to my belt for a static cord style draw would be a blued 0-1 Black Micarta Scaled Nealy Aikuchi(one of the first seven he made, I bought off him back in the 80s at his and my first knife show, also the first ECCKs show, a lot of firsts that year).
 
I carry in my left back pocket, clipped to my right front pocket, sometimes my EDC in my cargo pocket of cargo shorts or cargo pants. Sometimes I carry large folders in my coat pocket in the winter time, but I usually carry just a 3 in or less folder. Sometimes carry in a belt sheath if I'm camping or fishing, or plinking.

Queen D2 small stockman cocobolo and Benchmade Sequel right now, left back pocket stockman, BM Sequel right front pocket down below.
 
Clipped to my right front pocket if I'm not carrying my pepper spray.

If I'm out in public or at an event I carry a Delica 4 IWB at about 4 oclock. The spray then goes in the right front pocket.

At work I usually carry an Alox SAK inside the little coin pocket that comes sewn into dress pants. Keeps the knife standing straight up and down and much more comfy.
 
I never warmed up to a belt sheath (maybe because I never had a good one)and really don't like fishing things out of my pockets (although I love the look of slip joints). So, clipped it is for this southpaw.

I carry one of two Doziers on my belt.

Nothing in, or clipped to my pocket.

Waiting for my Dozier neck knife to arrive. I will wear it when wearing shorts since I sold my Becker Necker.
 
I'm a South-Paw, so I carry in my left front pocket, right now it's either a Spyderco Native or a Camillus Blaze clipped to the pocket edge and a Schrade-Walden Stockman beneath it in the same pocket.

I have never been able to get used to carrying on my "off-hand" side for some reason.
 
Always have my SAK Camper in front right pocket, Bladetech Mouse in right watch pocket. When feeling especially "deadly" I will carry one of my larger Spydercos or Benchmade in the left rear pocket.
 
Clipped in my right front pocket is my small Sebbie, and clipped to my left front pocket is my Spyderco Lava. I do not and will not carry a knife clipped to my back pocket. (I have a plethora of reasons why.)
 
two 3"+ knives, one on the back of my belt, in a horizontal nylon pouch, for right hand use. and the other clipped to right pocket with house keys.\

the pouch makes me look like a mall ninja but its' easier to access the knife than the one in my pocket in a few positions, and the knife's pocket clip doesn't scrape into furniture and automobiles.
 
I always carry a folder clipped tip down to my left front pocket (as I am a lefty), lately a Spyderco Chinook II (I've had for a while now and am very happy with it) or Buck/Strider SBMF. Occasionally I'll carry a Vic Voyager Lite in my right front as well.
 
Mini Ritter Grip clipped on front right pocket
SAK Compact Knife in front right pocket
Keys in front right pocket

cell phone on front left pocket
Serenity Zippo Lighter on left pocket

wallet on back right pocket
kleenex on back left pocket
 
I usually carry my Benchmade 14200, 14210, or my 710, it really depends on what I am wearing, since the big 14200 would make a pair of khaki's sag. I tend to carry my knifes clipped inside my front right pocket.
 
Custom Buck 110 in a horizontal nylon sheath just to the right of my belt buckle.

It's very easy to access from virtually any position.
It's a very secure way to carry a folder and is very difficult for anyone to snatch my knife from me.
And I never worry about a pocket-clip scratching my furniture or my truck.
 
A clipped 887, or M1-13, or Vtech 13100, and a Leatherman Juice in the hip pocket next to the wallet.

And the clips can cut up the furniture. So far the Buck is the least marked up or leaving marks.
 
either a gen 2 strider recurve SmF, spyderco Ti ATR PE or a emerson specwar CQC8 always in my right front pocket, clipped.
 
Lately my EDC hac been a Kershaw Blur with a straight edge. But I always have in my right front pocket a Leatherman Micra, Craftsman 4" adjustable (crecsent) wrench and a set of nail clippers.
 
either case hawkbill or sodbuster in right front pocket. when off duty a leatherman clip multi tool in left front pocket. when on duty a gerber multi tool on belt over right back pocket. and of course a john wayne on the key ring. later, ahgar
 
Usually - InovaX5 and Wave II on my belt.
LF - BM Mini-Grip clipped, Delica 4 loose, small SAK in slipcase loose. Ka-Bar/Dozier Black Thorn loose (just got this last week - giving it a test drive:) )
RF - Gerber Ultra Infinity, Dragonfly, LM Micra, lighter. Usually nothing clipped.

If I wear cargos - I'll add an SE Delica 4 or equivalent size to each pocket.
