For public use & viewing, a G-10 Caly 3 first, then occasionally my CF lefty D3.

IWB or UCB (under cummerbund) for "other" needs would be Para-Millie or Mini-SERE (I know it's not a Spydie, but it's still a good, comfortable carry IWB).
Regards,
Dale

I like to carry my Santa Fe Stoneworks Delica. Black Jet with Paua inlays.

Dress Carry

Since I am in a business suit now almost every day (Aaargh--How the mighty have fallen :eek: ), here goes:

Lately--

Right pocket (with my keys and money clip) one of these:

Green Lum Chinese folder (love this one--sees a lot of use)
Delica 4 (lightweight and waved)
Kopa (don't carry it much--Apple Coral inlay)
Jess Horn red handle (don't carry it much either)

Left pocket has one of these:

Kris (engraved)
Chinook II
Yojimbo
Emerson Combat Karambit (sorry--I know it is non-Spyderco, but one engraved Spydie Karambit is doing yeoman duty in a display case on my desk and a non-engraved Spydie Karambit is in the top breast pocket of my "go" vest)

Sometimes there is a SPOT around my neck, and often there is a SpyderCard dropped into the front breast pocket of my suit jacket.

Other than that, I'm not saying--have to have a few hidden surprises: ;)

Correction--the Jess Horn is burgundy rather than merely "red" in regards to handle type. I am a huge advocate of trainers--and those are red handles. Sorry for the mixup.

Also, Deacon, I guess I have worn a dress--a sarong or two for Filipino Martial Arts, and a hakama while practicing some Japanese arts.

Now I must go do something incredibly manly to redeem myself--like shave dry with a chipped, dull and rusty cutlass :D

I either carry the Lava or the Cento 4. I have a Subcom variant in my waistband back right no matter what I am wearing.

I never dress up. Last time was as best man at my buddy's wedding about 10 years ago.

Should anyone put a gun to my head and make me dress up, I would still carry my Military or Endura ;)

I don't mind getting all dressed up; in fact my job sometimes requires me to look 'representable'. My favorite carry for such occasions are my SF spydies.

Or if I feel like it, my black micarta Kopa and Mini Persian.

Without a doubt, my favorite dress knife is the Jigged Bone Kiwi.

My concept of dressing up, is a new pair of jeans and my Colt belt buckle, so I'll go with my Para-Military. :D
