Greetings forumites! Long time no see!

I'm looking to buy a couple of nice knives for concealed carry. Need recommendations. I assume a bit has happened in this area since I was last active in the forums.

Priorities for me is concealment (surprise!) and fast and easy deployment.
Also quality. The concealment and deployment method must not fail. I live in sheeple country and a knife suddenly clattering to the floor would be disaster.

I'm thinking, maybe some sort of belt buckle knife.. something that would not include my pants dropping...

I'm thinking, maybe a neck knife... LeGriffe? A bit worried it's too small and hard to grip?... then again, small is good... but a rope or something around my neck would be very visible.. "What you got hanging there?"

A kydex sheath sewn to the inside of my jacket's outer pocket. I like this idea.

Not wearing boots so boot knives are no good for me...

Any other suggestions?

BTW not sure if this is the right forum? Couldn't find Practical Tactical, sorry if I chose incorrectly.
 
A light, flat folder carried IWB might be the answer; that works for me. My favorites include a pair of CS Voyagers (clip, tanto), BM 710, Sebenza 21 and Bucklite 110. Spyderco also has a number of models that are suited to discrete carry, and you can doubtless find many others.

Do this for work five days a week, office sheeple can be a funny bunch. with the jacket on and the knife IWB no one can complain. even the clip is hidden. was an emerson CQC but now is a large sebenza
 
the low drop, smallish size, and color of the titanium clip on a Sebenza make it very discreet wearing tan or gray pants
 
Koster has a couple models of fixed blades that may be what you're looking for. Ka-Bar also produces a couple fixed blades that may suit your purposes also. I don't recommend the belt buckle knife. Easily spotted if someone is looking for it and you may have to take off your/ undo your belt to get to it/resheath it.
 
I make knives that are specifically tailored for concealed carry. I grind them from carbon fiber so you won't be hassled by metal detectors. They are stilla quite capable of use in a defensive role.

Fixed blade see good ideas above.
Folder - Waved Spyderco Endura. Either clipped to pocket or down inside pocket with or without lanyard fob. Easy to open on draw with practise.
 
I vote something along the lines of a Cold Steel super edge or urban pal. Small and lightweight enough to have a few scattered on your person, cheap enough to ditch if need be, and effective with a practiced technique. Have one in your back pocket (guy thinks you're going for your wallet), in your jacket, and perhaps one taped to your ankle. Lot of options there.
