What Pocket Do You Carry Your Traditional Knife In?

That depends. Smaller slipjoints (up to 3.75'') left front in a pocketsheath with other stuff, small fixed blades in the front right pocket next to the wallet, and bigger slippies right rear in a sheath together with the pocketstone.
Usually a combination of two, but sometimes all at once.

I too couldn't imagine having something in the rear pockets for a long time, but you get used to it pretty fast. Maybe it's another story if you have a bony bottom ;)
 
Right watch pocket if it will fit, and if not in front left pocket.
 
Right now, the only pocket of my Levi's that does NOT contain a traditional knife, is the back left where my wallet rides. :D
 
Right front pocket.
Left pocket gets keys and coinage.
I'd like to find a way to get it to sit more vertically. Maybe if I had more dollar bills in that pocket.
 
I like the left front pocket. First carpenter I worked with carried his that way (we're both right handed) and that's what I automatically did. Can't do it any other way now.
I also learned to use a sawzall with the blade upside down and I can't use it any other way now.
 
Right front watch pocket, right front main pocket, or both! Sometimes I'll throw one in the back right pocket with my wallet.
 
I like to carry all of mine horizontally in my left back pocket. However, my peanut gets carried my my coin pocket if I'm wearing jeans.
 
Left front these days. By itself, or sometimes with folding money.

This thread could really use the poll feature.
 
I find my self carrying too many. Two per front pocket. Often another in the watch pocket, and sometimes a modern folder in the back.

Today, I fought my OCD and only carried two in my front pockets. And a modern clipped to my man bag.
 
Right front pocket with my truck keys. If it can't stand up stand up to the scratches then it is sold.
 
Depends on the size. Either watch pocket or right front pocket. Also the occasional sheath.
 
Normally weak hand (left) front pocket of my cargo pants (which I'm almost always wearing). On occasion, another knife may be in my right front knee pocket or in a belt sheath. Addtionally, if I have to carry anything else in the pocket with the knife, it rides in a pocket sheath.
 
Front right pocket. I almost only wear slacks and they all have a little change pouch sewn inside the front right pocket. The knife usually fits in there well. I carry my very slim wallet there, too.

I mostly wear Levis, tend to carry a smaller knife, so I carry most of my knifes in the watch pocket of my jeans.

This goes for me as well and I keep my traditional collection at 3.5"s or under for this very reason. I recently tried on a pair of jeans at American Eagle because they had a pretty big sale on them at their outlet store and they fit me so much better than my Levi's do and as an added bonus and what really sealed the deal the watch pocket is at least an inch maybe more deeper and a little wider so my knives are fitting much better in these jeans.
 
Watch pocket if available, if not in a pouch in the right pocket. I don't like back pocket carry, I don't like the feeling of sitting on my knife
 
I always have a knife in my RFP right next to my wallet. The second knife moves around depending on what I'm wearing and where my phone is. It usually winds up in the LFP or watch pocket, but I have been known to let it ride in my shirt pocket as well.
 
My preferred method with my GEC Missouri was in a leather sleeve inside my front left pocket. I received a TC Barlow yesterday and realized that I need to look for additional sheaths or sleeves for my other knives...so, today, the TC kicked my phone out of my back pocket.
