What's in your back pocket?

I know there are some of you, who ... like me, often carry a knife in your back pocket. I sometimes carry a Buck 301, a Victorinox Farmer, or an old Camillus Electrician next to my wallet. Now, this is always an additional knife to the 2-3 I already carry. LOL!

So, what do the rest of you back pocket guys carry?

I don't carry anything in my back pockets because I don't like the lopsided feeling that results. I have noticed that during the cold months of the year I do tend to carry an extra knife in my coat pocket which is bigger than my normal EDC. Today I'm toting around a Queen/Dan Burke Rancher. At 4 1/8" closed it's a tank of a knife.

None!

There is an earlier post around here somewhere about a fella that had a knife that started to rub on the liners after he had been carrying it for a while.

I believe it was because he carried it in his backpocket. Years ago, I messed up my CASE trapper (not completely sure of the model) by carrying it in my back pocket. At that time I was a delicate 220 or so, but the knife was in my pocket as an EDC for construction duties. I sat on it several times a day in performance of my job.

After a short time, the blades began to bind up a bit and one also began to rub the liners. I put a straightedge on the frame, and I had torqued the soft brass liners out of line with the bolsters/pivot point, but had also managed to twist the whole case just a bit. I never could straighten that one out as I was afraid I would break off the scales every time I tried to twist it back to alignment.

Mind you, it was a tiny bit of twisting, but that was all it took to mess up the alignment. So no more in the back pocket carries unless it is a fixed blade.

I carry a Benchmade 710hssr in my back pocket. The traditional knife in my front pocket is for social occasions, and the benchmade is a bit more nefarious. As much as i try i can't get away from the fact that sometimes its easier for me to use a single hand opening knife.
 
I prefer to carry in my back pocket. Here is a picture of a mod I do to all my shorts & pants so I can carry in my back pocket.

That's a Schrade LB7 which I frequently carry.

Thats so cool, i do exactly the same thing!
 
I was a back pocket knife carrier for many years but have become much more comfortable (by and large) with front pocket carry. I will still carry in the back pocket, however, if the knife is large (~ 4.5" closed or so).

Now that's pretty cool. I have an old Schrade LB7 myself, got it back in 1979 I believe.

My traditionals stay in the front pocket. As thin as possible newfangled clipped to the back. Usually my leek. I hate sitting on my wallet enough, and it's one of those thin "card holders".

The sewn jean compartment is a neat idea, though. One of the reasons I never considered it is because the knife falls horizontal in the back.
 
Back pocket is usually where my balisong lives (taken to carrying a recently acquired example from '29 knives') and it just rides vertical next to my wallet, on the outside so it doesn't get sat on--not that I could hurt it.

Front pockets have the traditional/SAK spots.
 
Wallet on right, red man in the left. Knife and cell phone in the right front pocket, keys in the left front.
 
IN the right rear pocket is an A.G.Russell ACIES. Right above it on an inch and three quarters MILT SPARKS belt is an engraved WAVE. In the front right pocket is an EYE BRAND 4 1/4" babyshiq yellow stockman. On the left side above the rear left wallet pocket is a magazine holder with one magazine of 45ACP ammunition. In front of it on the same belt is a 45ACP autoloading pistol. It all goes on about 600am every morning and I never feel it there; NEVER !!!
And some of you complain about a common dinky ol' pocketknife being " TOO HEAVY" in your pocket.....geeesh....
And so it goes...

Well, Terry, most of them aren't being attacked by bands of Sioux warriors on a daily basis like you in the Dakotas! ;)
(Not that you don't have it coming! :p)

What do you mean I got it comin' ?? We STOLE this land fair 'n' square from 'em just like they stole it from the folks that were here before them in about 1775/6 after they[ the Lakota ] were kicked outta their homes in Minnesota by their relatives, the Santee Sioux, who could not stand the sight of 'em anymore. And now all they do is whine about it. There is nothing in what I just said that cannot be easily proved. Let it also be noted the other Sioux tribes here on the other reservations--Rosebud; Cheyenne River, Standing Rock; etc--- also cannot stand the sight of the Pine ridge Lakota.
Sometime ask me about the older Lakota woman I helped pick up all her groceries scattered across the WALMART parking lot, put 'em all back in their bags, loaded 'em all in her car, then she tried to hit me with the cardoor when I helped her into her car off the ice. Nice folks....
