Strong side or other?

I'm left handed and I've always carried a EDC pocket carry on my right side. Guess out of habit because the knife either didn't come with a reversible clip or I was to lazy to change it.

However, with a sheath I find it more natural to carry on my left side.
 
I carry my knives on my right side (right handed)

But in my pack I keep my knife on my left waterbottle pocket, for some reason I can grab it alot easier then with my right hand.

I also do one thing alot better with my left hand but we won't go there..........
 
Knife only, strong side right.

Gun and knife, left side, gun gets the prime spot.

Pack, inside it. I never carry a knife on the outside of my pack.

Folder, right pocket or back pocket.

Fixed blade - right side
Folder - right front pocket
Pistol - right
Rifle/Shotgun/crossbow - slung over shoulder for left handed firing
Bow - right hand use

I am a righty but have always been a better shot using my left for rifles and shotguns. Pistols I shoot right handed.
 
I'm also a lefty and I carry folders in my right pocket. Nobody used to cater to lefty's. At least now, there are a lot of folders that the pocket clip can be switced to left side if the user desires, but after all these years it seems unnatural to me.

I have custom ordered plenty of belt sheaths for left sided carry though. I think I'm gonna order my next one for cross draw carry (left handed draw carried on the right side).

Sucks being left handed in a right handed world!
 
Benchmade folder in right rear pocket, Benchmade folder in left rear pocket and EsKabar in small side leg pocket (carhearts).

Left handed people are freaks and should be weeded out of society. ha ha ha
Something I learned from my father. When he was a small boy he was left handed. Well that was considered a flaw at school. So his teachers tied his left arm to his side and forced he and other children to use their right. He was a right hand dominant man for the rest of his life. Interesting fact.
 
Another reason I carry a (when I carry a folder) in my right front pocket is I carry my cell phone in my left and it would scratch the hell out of it. However when I carry a multi-tool it rides on my left. Almost every thing is more comfortable on my left minus a folder in my right pocket. After years of "the man" keeping this lefty down, I guess it's hard to change.

I keep joking about a utility belt...
 
I carry almost everything on my right side, at about 0300 or 0330 for a right hand draw. Of course, if I were to carry a Mora, my BK2 and a hatchet, I'd have to split them up in some way.
 
BK2 and 9 on my back side, but sometimes if I'm only carrying one of them it would be on my right side, but sometimes I'll have one on the left and one on my back, but sometimes I just carry my 14 or my 11, then it's on my belt usually on the front left or right side, but sometimes I'll keep it in my bag, or in my left pocket, but if I go to the walmart round here I'll have it in my right pocket, and I also have my Warrior inspired sheath, and if I have that on then it's the 2 and the 11 on the right side danglin'......Gosh there is just so much. :D
 
Knife only, right side, Gun and knife, the knife is on the left. If I am handgun hunting the gun is cross draw and knife on right side. I am thinking of getting a horizontal style sheath so I won't have to carry on the left side.
 
I prefer a knife to be clipped on my right pocket but then when I slide into my car, the clip was tearing up my steering wheel. Now i clip on my left side and stuttering wheel is left alone.
 
I'm a SouthPaw also & it really depends on where I'm going & what I'm doing.
Always - Folders (ZT0350 or Spyderco Endura4 Waved) clipped in my Left front & a Slippie (Case Trapper or SAK Hiker) inside Left front
SideArm - Glock19 or R.I.A 1911 Left side hip(Strongside)
Fixed blade - BK9 right side
Pack - Maxpedition 10x4 kit - BK11 inside pack
If I'm just going for a short walk in the woods here at my house I just stick my BK9 on my left side.

When I was a little tadpole I was a lefty, and my mom forced me to use my right hand. Kinda glad she did that, being a lefty pretty much has no advantages unless I was a boxer.

Oh, and I carry on the right side for all folders, fixed blades I carry horizontally on the small of my back.
 
both. everywhere. underchairs with velcro. neck carry. behind the back carry. ankle carry.

"god, how many knives do you have? at least one more than you know about"
