I voted Neck Sheath, because it's how I carry my mora. Since I always carry at least two blades, one goes on my neck, and one on my belt. The belt knife is an added tool, but I know the neck knife is always there.

Most of my knives have been of a bowie design so maybe this has meant a strong side belt carry, just something i've always done since being small.
Maybe now with a 9" leuku on the way i'll possibly try a cross draw due to the extra length? But then i'll have one of those where's my wallet moment's everytime i check my knife like when i put my watch on the other wrist :yikes:
 
I usually have mine in a pocket as its easier to get to than lifting up my coat to draw from the belt , or if I am using it a lot I thread a bit of cord though and have it round my neck , my latest knife sheath doesn't even have a belt loop on it.

Crossdraw under my left arm suspended on a lanyard, bottom of the sheath loosely attached to a belt loop with para cord to stop excessive flappage :slap:

back up is in my big bum bag.

Cheers,

Alan

I carry mine across my body when I have a rucksack, so much more comfy and around my waist when its off, plain and simple!

Hi all,

I usually carry my knife on my weak hand side (left) so that I can draw it with either hand, its easier to go strong hand to weak side than the other way around, I do this so that if I have my right hand full or busy (climbing, carrying etc) I can still get to my knife if I need to cut things or free myself from an entanglement, also I carry my machete & khukri the same way for the same reasons, its more of an emergency thing than any thing else & a habit that was drilled into me in the military, i.e. your bayonet goes to the left & if you don't have one, your combat / survival knife is there instead...

Cheers,

Karl
 
i like the placcy Frost sheath in saftey Orange :lmao: :eek: Honest

its in the top of my bergan or Day pack and if i need it its easy to slide onto a belt or more likley a pocket and the clip holds it firm but you can easily pull the whole thing out
in the workshop or kitchen the slot means you can hook it on a nail
in a hammock its easy to take of and clip on the top string out the way if you have forgot to put it back in the bergan
if its in the pack and i need a knife ive always got a SAK in my pocket

so all the above n more i just put it where i want :D its Orange so when i leave a site and do a final litter sweep i can see if ive left it hanging on a tree :rolleyes:
2 things you dont want to lose a knife and your Wallet why make em difficult to see (cammo wallets :11doh: :rolleyes: who does tactical payments)
