Almost always carry two : :spyder: s, if I'm carrying a firearm (which I usually am), I carry an Endura or Delica in my right front pocket, with a Tasman Salt or Matriarch clipped to my left front pocket. No firearm I carry the Endura or the Matriarch clipped to the right front pocket, with the Tasman or the Delica loose in the left front.
I also almost always carry a Kabar TDI on my weak side.

I used to carry a SAK or a Case loose in pocket before I bought my Caly Micarta 12 years ago. I always ment to take the clip off but never got around to doing it. Now I carry a GB M4 in RFP clipped, Salt 1 LFP Clipped, and a Green Ladybug on my truck key which I usually stick the key in my shirt pocket and leave the lady bug dangling outside of the pocket. Any coins go into LFP since the GB is open and I used to have things dinging my edge when I used to carry an ATR.
I have to figure something better out for my Truck key since the last time I was taking pictures of the sunset at the beach after work I slipped, as I was catching my balance my camera bag shifted, the strap caught key and sent them flying. I didn't notice at first and had to back track a couple hundred yards. I walked around for 30 minutes, right when the sun was disappearing over the horizon I made a call to try to get a ride to get my other set of keys, as my friend answered I saw it on the ground 2 steps infront of me. It's bad being color deficient looking for green and black against brown leaves.

Voted "always loose" … not real big on "printing", and I've heard more than one "lost my knife 'cause the clip got hung on something" story … so I remove the clips, attach a small paracord lanyard, and ...
Weekdays in a suit every day - Kopa or Kiwi in front right, all by itself - CF Caly 3 or Native in back right, also by itself (don't like to scratch 'em up).
Weekends and evenings in cargo shorts, jeans, etc … Either PPT or Native in front right, SuperLeaf or PM2 in back right. Sometimes I will drop my G-10 D-Fly in a watch pocket or small cargo pocket as well. If in something dressier like khakis, the CF Caly 3 replaces the back pocket knife.
(When I do carry IWB it's a Ruger SP101 or my ParaOrdnance LTC).

When at work I carry my Endura 4 clipped in my left front pocket and occasionally one of my two Tasmans (one PE one SE) in my back left pocket. Wearing coveralls in the Navy allows for rather large knives to be carried comfortably.
Now when I am off the ship in the States, it is usually my Endura (only one I had before deployment). Carried my Ambitious out on liberty loose in my pocket (didn't want to advertise) along with a Ka-bar Remora neck knife. However, now that I have both the Grasshopper and Squeak those will replace the Ambitious and Remora as they are non-locking and not fixed blades.
Although at this moment my Endura sits on the desk as I type with my Squeak and my Delica 4 clipped to my back left and front right pockets, respectively (Just got them yesterday, I love new knives).
