I have been very curious as to how everyone here cries their CRK. The reason why is that I use to carry my "other" folders via pocket clip in the front right pocket. This was after I use to carry them via rear pocket using the pocket clip. Well, that is until I lost a knife that way. I also have lost knives clipped to my front pocket and lost an Mnandi in the CR pouch that was in my pocket. The Mnandi slid out of the inappropriate pouch.
I greatly prefer to carry my knives clipped to the front pock but am terrified of it coming loose and never to be seen again.
So please,show us how you prefer to carry.
 
Whenever I buy a pocket knife, the first thing I do is remove the clip. Using the clip allows for loss and advertises to all that you're carrying a knife.
 
I'm currently carrying a Snakewood Mnandi sans-pocket clip in a calfskin pouch in my right front pocket.
 
I carry my Lg Reg Sebenza in a pocket slip case either in my right front pocket or in cargo pockets (weekend carry). I also carry another knife usually my Spyderco Cricket in my shirt pocket (button up shirt) during the week. If on the weekend, it goes on cargo pocket, left side. Granted i'm carrying a S&W 638 in a pocket rig with 2 Bianchi speed strips in the left side.

Only time, I thought I lost my Sebenza was one day I clipped it to the inside of a suit jacket pocket. I found it though (insert Happy Dance here!)
 
clipped in my left front pocket or in the slip case in left cargo pocket

I have never lost a knife that was clipped to my pocket and i carry one everyday.
 
I carry my sebenzas, umnumzaan, xm's ,zt, strider, clipped to my right front pocket. That way they are always at the ready.
 
All of my folders go in my right front pocket unless I'm wearing dress clothes in which case my small seb goes in between my waistband and belt (clipped into waistband).

During college I carried a mini-stryker in my back rear pocket next to my wallet as my edc but after continuously wearing holes in pockets and after destroying the pocket clip (long term wear coupled with one amazingly uncomfortable plastic chair) I quit utilizing that location for the most part.
 
at work (office job) i carry my small sebenza in the CR pouch inside my pocket. Outside of work I clip it to my right front pocket.
 
Well, my everyday jeans (which I am very attached to) have been butchered by Waved EKI's, so pocket clip carry is out of the question. After buying a Mnandi, I really took to carrying the knife in the calfskin pouch that it came with, so I ordered another for my small Insingo. It's more comfortable and co-workers and passers by don't know that I'm carrying.

Now, I don't clip-carry unless I'm going hiking.

Crap, now that I just wrote that, I wonder if I'm violating any local laws. I live in Los Angeles county and I'm now curious that by carrying concealed in my pocket, if it's considered illegal. Hmm..
 
I carry my small micarta 21 in an open top belt pouch from KSF. Very nice, very secure, and close-fitting so it doesn't show up under my shirt.
 
I have a custom horizontal sheath made for my small Sebenza by Vess Leatherworks. It holds the knife quite snug, there's no way it'll come out without me noticing. The sheath is nice and slim, very comfortable in use.

As for my Umnumzaan, I carry that clipped to my right front pocket. I might eventually get some kind of sheath to carry it in though.

I carry my Small Sebenza with Bocote inlay in its CRK calfskin pouch in my front right pocket. I have only carried my Mnandi once when I was wearing a suit and that stayed in my inside left jacket pocket.
 
My Umnumzaan (my current edc) is in-pocket with clip attached during the work day. It is then clipped to my RF pocket after work and weekends.

My Nyala is carried in-pocket (LF) at night and on weekends with the extra long lanyard hanging out of my pocket so I can grab it and retrieve the knife when needed.

I do not carry the Nyala on the street.

I just ordered a large CRK leather sleeve, so the Umnumzaan will ride in that during the week.
 
My sebbie rides in a Lifter's leather sheath on my belt. Another folder will be located in my front or rear pocket.
 
i carry my small sebenza clipped to my pocket, usually the "change" pocket when i wear jeans.
