Re: Your iwb carry.
UKPK when I'm wearing light weight shorts with no pockets. Blade is a decent length and it's so lite.

Re: Your iwb carry.
pacific salt se black/dlc all day, every day. the rounded edges on the handle and light weight make it a perfect tool for this application.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Your iwb carry.
I have to agree with you, almost word for word! PE for me, however. I chose mine for iwb initially because of the rust proof material, but it stayed because of the ergonomics. I feel no knife is better for this application.

Re: Your iwb carry.
What works for me in general to carry at 1 o’clock position:
- 3 inch or less blade length, if longer the handle becomes too long and uncomfortable
- deep carry clip
- lockback or similar lock with good self close
- relatively stainless
- thin, smooth handles, i.e. ti or smooth G10
I carry these often:
Spydiechef - on the long side but works rather well. Blade hides deep in handle so it feels safe enough.
Native 5 S110V - with Lynch deep carry clip
Native 5 Cruwear - with Lynch deep carry clip, stainless enough
UKPK S110V - very light and stainless
UKPK S30V - stainless enough
PITS - excellent
Ti Chaparral - probably the pick of the bunch for comfort.

Re: Your iwb carry.
I really never carry iwb, but I often carry my dragonfly salt in that tiny key pocket in the waistband of my running shorts in the summer.

Re: Your iwb carry.
I don't regularly carry IWB but when I do it's usually the Pacific Salt SE.
I only carry backlocks in waistband - never any detent based lock. I had a framelock open up on me while IWB once, thankfully I wasn't hurt. :eek:

Re: Your iwb carry.
Depends what I'm doing. I have some hiking pants with angled pockets, and they just don't like holding onto knives. If I'm doing something and I don't trust the knife to stay in the bottom of my pocket, that's usually when I'll clip in inside the waistband.

Re: Your iwb carry.
I always carry the Dragonfly 2 Salt SE (usually the leaf shape blade, but occasionally the hawkbill) in the waistband of my running shorts/running pants when I go trail-running. I've also carried the Native 5 Salt PE in its place on a number of occasions, but the combination of the Dragonfly 2 Salt's imperceptibly small footprint, negligible weight, and imperviousness to corrosion just make it the perfect "running knife" for me.
Re: Your iwb carry.
If I bother to carry IWB, it’s not a knife.

Re: Your iwb carry.
I usually carry smaller back lock or slipit edcs with wire clips iwb. Typically around 9 o'clock (lefty).
I.e., UKPK, PITS, Chaparral, Urban, Pingo

Re: Your iwb carry.
Been carrying this IWB lately. Seems the easiest and least obtrusive way to carry it. :D
Carrying it today but using an older photo.

Re: Your iwb carry.
IWB only if I really have to (running shorts without pockets or pants with "thin garment floppy pockets")
In my "urban" day to day life IWB does not work at all: Shirt untucked, fleece jacket, maybe down vest, often times hip bag: Knife really not accessible.
By far the most IWB carried is my Chap FRN: Specifically bought it as a light and slim folder that still has acceptable blade length (so longer blade than a DFly for me) to be carried IWB on shorter trail runs in running shorts. Works perfectly, and before you ask: NO, no rust problems whatsoever on the HXP blade..
Sometimes I carry my Pac Salt SE or Endela SE IWB instead of the Chap when trailrunning without a running pack / running vest

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Your iwb carry.
I often carry a FRN knife IWB because it's light and easy, but I actually prefer smooth handles for comfort and a lockback for safety. Very often then that's the Endura SS or CaraCara2 SS. The Pacific Salt (not the 2) has a nice texture for IWB carry and is nice and lightweight as well.
