Always on my belt. Never carried it a single other way...... Me either. Course the fact that I never carry a pack has something to do with it. Carried pack boards, but never a pack.

Do those of you that cary on your belt use a pack with a waist belt? Main reason I don't wear it on my belt. When I just have a small or no pack I have it on my belt.

Fixed blade in my pack and a folder in my pocket. I make light weight sheaths without belt loop.
I have beat my rifle stock enough with a clip mounted folder to know I can't wear a belt knife without a long coat.

Usually my EDC folder in my pocket and fixed in the pack. Sometimes if I'm trying to go as light as possible or wearing fleece with no front pocket I'll carry a fixed on a neck sheath.

more and more often, I carry my dead animal field processing knife in my day pack. I'll have a neck knife, a folder, or another fixed blade on my belt, usually in a cross draw, horizontal carry.

I normally carry a fixed blade knife on the belt, a small three blade folder in my pocket and if have a back pack, a small fixed blade there. If no back pack, a small necker in place of one in the pack. Just doing normal stuff, the three blade in the pocket and a necker. If I need to use a knife, I don't want to sort thru a pack to access it. jmho Tim

Well, Here it's usually cold enough that I am wearing a parka over the top of orange insulated bibs. Getting at a belt carried knife takes some doing. I usually attach a figure 8 clip to the sheath's belt slot and hang the knife off the suspenders of the bibs. Just put it through the loop of the suspenders for adjusting length so if the suspenders come unhooked the knife doesn't drop down one of your pants legs. Otherwise it's even harder to get at than if it's on your belt.

My fixed blade stays in either the butt bag or the rucksack if that is what I am using. I carry a Buck 112 folder in a nylon sheath if I am hiking somewhere.

I were a dangler sheath. Seen one and fell in love. Got my first one a friend made for me. He stopped by with it as I was building my deck. Put it on while working and forgot it was there. Never in the way even when I was getting in and out of truck. Will never go back.

Clay hustler, I tend to be the opposite, like my knife sheath about like a handgun holster - high and tight.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

A high sheath works well with a knife small enough in the handle and blade that it doesn't dig into your ribs or get in the way of sitting. I like a dangler best with large blades because it will move out of the way when sitting.
You can attach a leather loop to a key ring and turn any belt knife into a dangler.
